Burnham’s Bold Devolution Plan

Andy Burnham is unveiling a radical devolution plan to shift power from London to the regions, proposing a “No 10” in the North and “good growth in every postcode” over the next decade. His agenda includes reindustrialization, housing expansion, service reform, and boosting British procurement to revive domestic industry and apprenticeships. Education will see a push for balanced academic and technical pathways, echoing current Labour priorities. Burnham wants regional leaders to control social housing, welfare, and post-16 education — even suggesting relocating part of the Prime Minister’s office north to symbolize decentralization. While key Labour figures support his vision, others urge caution to preserve policy continuity. With calls for a general election rising, Labour insists focus remains on delivering its manifesto — and the coming weeks will decide whether Burnham’s bold blueprint becomes reality.
