## Resource

Andy Burnham’s rise to Prime Minister marks a seismic shift for UK politics — and for Liverpool, where his longtime ally and friend, Mayor Steve Rotheram, sees a new era of influence. With Burnham’s deep roots in devolution and their decades-long partnership, Rotheram expects a “sympathetic ear” in Downing Street, opening doors for Liverpool’s priorities. Though Burnham won’t deliver every demand, Rotheram believes his voice now carries more weight than ever. He highlights Burnham’s transformative role in devolution and warns that anyone underestimating him — thinking he’s just a better-spoken version of the past — will be in for a shock. Even as security and pressure mount, Rotheram remains confident Burnham’s resilience will see him through. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
