FULL: Burnham announces 'No 10 North' and says it will be 'nerve centre of a rewired Britain'

In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Andy Burnham, the former Greater Manchester mayor and leading contender to become the next UK prime minister, has unveiled a major plan to “rewire” the British state, promising a historic shift of power away from Westminster and Whitehall towards regions across the United Kingdom. In a major speech in Manchester, Burnham pledged a “circuit breaker” for the UK economy, proposing a new government hub called “No.10 North” to coordinate regional growth, investment and regeneration. He said his vision would focus on boosting productivity, rebuilding industries, expanding housing, reforming essential utilities and creating “good growth in every postcode.” Burnham argued that economic growth cannot be delivered through central control, saying power must move closer to local communities. His “Manchesterism” model aims to combine public investment, private sector partnerships and stronger regional leadership to tackle Britain’s long-running economic challenges. The speech comes as the Labour Party prepares for a leadership transition following Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation. Burnham’s proposals could reshape the debate over Britain’s economic future and the role of regional governments. #andyburnham, #ukpolitics, #britainnews, #ukprimeminister, #labourparty, #keirstarmer, #westminster, #whitehall, #ukgovernment, #britisheconomy, #ukeconomy, #manchester, #manchesterism, #politicalnews, #breakingnews, #uknews, #britainreset, #economicgrowth, #politicalchange, #worldnews Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
