Andy Burnham to set out his economic vision as he speeds toward power in Britain

Andy Burnham, Britain’s presumptive next prime minister, will outline a 10-year economic vision in Manchester to decentralize power, expand regional mayors’ authority, and address wealth concentration in London and southern England. The plan includes moving part of his PM operation to Manchester, creating industrial jobs, and reforming privatized utilities, while facing challenges like a sluggish economy and constraints from the Labour Party’s 2024 platform.
