Andy Burnham proposes relocating parts of No 10 to Manchester

24 Haziran 2026The Guardian
  • Andy Burnham, the Makerfield MP, is considering relocating parts of the Prime Minister's office to Manchester. This move is part of his broader initiative to devolve power from London to the north of England.
  • Should he become Prime Minister later this year, Burnham aims to establish a northern base for the No 10 operation.
  • The push for devolution in the UK has gained momentum in recent years, with various regions advocating for greater autonomy and decision-making power. Burnham's initiative aligns with these sentiments and could signal a significant shift in how national governance interacts with local communities.
  • Burnham's proposal to decentralize the Prime Minister's office reflects a growing trend in UK politics towards regional empowerment. By shifting operations to Manchester, he not only aims to address the longstanding perception of London-centric governance but also to engage more directly with northern constituents.
