UK Government Shifts Power to Manchester | London News

from London News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is shaking up UK governance with the launch of “No 10 North” in Manchester—a bold move to decentralize power and make economic growth a nationwide effort. Reviving the National Economic Council, he’s bringing top ministers and regional mayors together to tackle economic challenges with emergency-level urgency. This isn’t just symbolic; it’s a structural shift designed to embed local voices in national policy, with civil servants relocating and key departments reorganized. Based at Heron House, the initiative aims to level up living standards across the UK by dismantling London-centric decision-making and building a truly balanced economy where every region thrives.
