## Resource

Andy Burnham is set to unveil his bold vision for Britain: a radical shift of power from London to local communities, promising “good growth in every postcode.” He aims to tackle regional inequality by decentralizing control — even over taxes like business rates — and empowering councils to drive economic renewal. Drawing on his “Makerfield test,” he’ll govern by local impact, not Westminster politics. His speech marks the start of his policy agenda, with speculation swirling over cabinet picks — Ed Miliband leading the Chancellor shortlist — while balancing Labour’s fiscal pledges with reassurance to markets. Burnham’s 10-year plan includes reindustrialization, housing, and infrastructure, with government operations relocating to Manchester to fuel his devolution revolution.
