Andy Burnham opens No 10 North in Manchester – video

Andy Burnham has opened No 10 North in Manchester, establishing a new government base to signal a departure from decades of London-centred economic decision-making. Currently situated at Heron House, the office serves as a temporary location while a brownfield site outside the city is developed for its permanent relocation. This move is viewed as a significant power play, sending a clear signal through the government machine regarding the redistribution of political and economic influence.
