Andy Burnham, UK lawmaker, delivers a speech at the People's History Museum in Manchester, UK, on Monday, June 29, 2026. Andy Burnham has vowed to bring about “the biggest change in our lifetimes to the way the country is run” as he unveiled his vision for the future of Britain.
The man who is set to become prime minister next month said he would “do things differently” by ushering in a huge shift in power away from Whitehall towards local communities and regions.
Burnham confirmed that he will set up a so-called “No.10 north [to] be the nerve centre of a rewired Britain”.
Its job will be “to make power flow into the Midlands, into the South West, into the East of England and yes, into London”, he said.
