PM-In-Waiting Burnham announces No10 of the North

[Blackleaf]

Andy Burnham, set to become Britain's new Prime Minister in three weeks, has announced his plans to create a "No 10 Downing Street for the North of England", rejecting trickle-down economics in favour of devolved power to regions across the UK, should he become Prime Minister.

The former Mayor of Greater Manchester, 56, has just been elected as a Labour MP around the same time that Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation and he looks set to be made Labour Party leader and PM within the next few weeks as he is currently the only person running for the job.

Over the last several days he has announced the policies he would like to enact when he becomes PM, including more powers for UK regions.

Burnham calls it "Manchesterism." Under his leadership Manchester and its surrounding towns and cities - including my hometown of Bolton - have enjoyed above national average economic growth.

Burnham also wants to build more houses since World War II.

Manchesterism

Andy Burnham's win in Makerfield means he is on course to challenge Sir Keir Starmer to be Prime Minister.

But what would he do in power? Greater Manchester, where he has been in power for nine years, gives clues to Burnham's ideology, known as Manchesterism.

Sky News Deputy Political Editor Sam Coates has a special report speaking to Burnham's closest allies, experts, and the people of Greater Manchester, about what this turnaround city can tell us about the man heading for Number 10.

With a population of over 3 million, Greater Manchester can in many respects be classed as Britain's second biggest city and under the leadership of Burnham as Mayor it has enjoyed a booming economy.
