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.
