Burnham’s No 10 North Shifts Power | Manchester News

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is kicking off his bold new initiative, No 10 North, with a historic first meeting in Manchester — a move designed to decentralize power and bring government closer to communities across every corner of the UK. Set to operate from a newly secured interim base in Heron House, this project aims to tackle the feeling of neglect felt by towns and regions far from Westminster. Burnham’s vision? To ensure no postcode is left behind — whether in the North, East, or Southwest. Backed by Louise Haigh leading the Office for the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Burnham’s first week also saw major policy shifts: a nationwide two-pound bus fare cap, a 20% business tax cut, and a firm decision not to raise the personal tax allowance. This isn’t just about the North — it’s about reshaping Britain from the ground up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
