Summary
Andy Burnham’s bold new vision for Britain aims to slash Westminster’s grip and empower regions with a “Number 10 North” in Manchester, launching a ten-year plan to rebuild the nation from the ground up. He’s proposing the biggest council house build since the war, a revolution in technical education, and a state focused on prevention and productivity — all to restore hope, trust, and living standards for the working class. Acknowledging his generation’s failures, Burnham calls for unity across parties and a smarter, fiscally responsible approach to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. Meanwhile, Greater Manchester voters head to the polls July 30th to choose their next mayor — with Reform UK and the Conservatives now in the race.
