Recent claims asking, “Was the Baird Inquiry hampered by the Mayor?” have darkened the Vera Baird Inquiry, led by Mayor Andy Burnham. Individuals have claimed that the mayor ignored their participation requests. This scrutiny questions the investigation’s transparency and legitimacy and suggests a possible intent to hamper the Baird Inquiry.
Vocal Criticisms on Social Media Amplify Concerns
Lou.manchester, active on X (formerly Twitter) as @Mollylou1988, has voiced her frustrations loudly. She claims she sent a direct complaint to Mayor Burnham and got no response. Her shared grievances on social media amplify calls for more decisive action from city leaders.
Public Demands Decisive Action
The absence of responses has sparked a public outcry, pushing many to demand that Mayor Burnham take decisive steps. These include possibly dismissing the GMP Chief Constable. Critics argue that dialogue is futile without real actions. They feel the lack of direct engagement with affected parties hampers the Baird Inquiry.
Mayor’s Crucial Role in Restoring Trust
The Baird Inquiry’s integrity and the Greater Manchester public’s trust now heavily depend on Mayor Burnham’s actions. He must address these allegations quickly and ensure he hears all voices. Demonstrating commitment to transparency and accountability is essential for rebuilding public confidence.
Future Implications for Governance and Policing
The Baird Inquiry’s outcomes will likely impact policing in Greater Manchester extensively. They will also guide how officials nationwide address similar issues. The inquiry’s management could set a precedent for addressing public grievances and boosting police accountability.

My son was put on Grinder by the man across the street. He was 12. GMP did nothing nor did the Mayor. This happened because I was strangled by a police officer and was arrested for willful obstruction. I was cleared in court as 17 people testified yo what the police officer did. The police wouldn’t even take my complaint and said if I needed them in the future they would be slow to come if at all. They purposely put my kids life at risk. Luckily, my family lived on the same street and made sure my son was kept safe. Only one police officer knocked on that man’s door telling him if anyone else comes they would be back!
He should be sacked! On May 27, 2021, he vowed to resign if GMP had not improved. GMP has experienced more cover-ups and negative media coverage for the past two years. Why is he still here?
I was at the Baird Review due to my 14-year-old daughter being strip searched. No senior officer came and spoke with us! Maybe it’s me, but the apology given by Steven Watson on the news was callous, cold and compassionate. He needs to go!
