Andy Burnham became Prime Minister on 20 July 2026 after Keir Starmer's resignation and an unopposed Labour leadership election. In June 2026 he set out a 10-year plan to rewire Britain by devolving power from Whitehall, creating a No 10 North office in Manchester, building large numbers of council houses, reforming utilities and reindustrialising regions to deliver good growth in every postcode.

It's not a plan, it's a wish list. Long and unfunded. We are soft and weak, looks like Andy Burnham will make us even softer and even weaker. A model nanny state with weak and dependant from the state people. Nightmare is coming and the new PM has every single idea wrong. We are doomed.
Less a sense of hope, and more a sense of despair that this government is accelerating the digging of the hole we are in towards a national grave.
I regard his plan, as an aim rather than something he will complete. They are good aims on the whole, it would good to see them achieved. Whatever government we have in power, has a manifesto of aims, which they plan on doing. Doesn't work, because you can guarantee that someone, somewhere will have an objection, and hold the progress up.
The cardboard cut out Ayatollah Khomeini commanded more presence than this plastic Scouser.
We’ve heard endless 'rebalancing' slogans before, and nothing ever changes. Setting up a No 10 North risks creating another expensive bureaucratic talking shop while local councils go bust. Without a concrete, fully costed plan to deliver housebuilding and industrial revival under current borrowing limits, promising the moon isn't hope, it's just daydreaming.
