Hello,
Happy St Patrick’s Day! It’s on this day, every year, that I remember the stranger who asked me if I was Irish because I was wearing green. It wasn't even St Patrick's Day.
For the record, I’m not and I don’t wear green every day. I am a tiny bit Welsh, which should be obvious from the bouquet of daffodils I lug around, as insisted upon by the Assembly.
On to the news. We’ll be taking a look at some interesting stats on the richest and poorest neighbourhoods in today’s newsletter. We’ll also be looking at Manchester’s radical plans to tackle healthy inequalities and the ongoing saga at Night & Day. Let’s begin.
On Monday we spoke about how the ambitions of Manchester’s leaders and thinkers changed the face of the city forever. And perhaps as a consequence, the divide between the rich and poor has never been clearer.
You only have to wander through our city centre to see the most vulnerable living cheek by jowl with the richest in our society. That stark juxtaposition is no longer the preserve of London.
In fact, Manchester has one of the largest income gaps between its neighbourhoods of any local authority in Great Britain.
Households in the city’s richest neighbourhood (Castlefield & Deansgate) earn £35,400 more a year than the poorest (Moss Side West), according to figures from the Office for National Statistics.
Data journalist David Dubas-Fisher has been looking at the figures and has found that households in the city centre area of Castlefield & Deansgate have an average

Piers Morgan resigned from Good Morning Britain after refusing to apologise for not believing Meghan Markle's account of life in the Royal Family. However, the 57-year-old broadcaster has now questioned why he didn't receive the same "solidarity" that Gary Lineker recently did for his own situation. One source claimed that Piers' comment was a reference to his former GMB colleague Susanna Reid, who returned to the airwaves immediately after the episode, without making a stand for Piers.
Piers Morgan still feels “let down” by his former Good Morning Britain co-hosts after he controversially walked out on the ITV daytime show, a source has told us.

And now a source has claimed Piers’ pointed tweet was mainly aimed at his former co-host Susanna Reid, who soldiered on presenting GMB after Piers quit following a row over his negative comments about the Duchess of Sussex.
