It’s not just policy tweaks—it’s a constitutional rethink, arguing Britain’s problems stem from a government too London-centric, not too big or small. While past initiatives like the Northern Powerhouse fell short, Burnham’s plan aims for true federal-style equality, sparking fierce debate over feasibility, accountability, and whether the North’s needs can be balanced with the rest of the country. This isn’t just a speech—it’s a blueprint to “rewire” Britain’s entire system. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
