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 to empower local governments and spread wealth beyond London and southern England. He plans to move part of his prime ministerial operation to Manchester and expand regional mayors’ control over housing, welfare, and education. Burnham is set to replace Keir Starmer as Labour Party leader, with a leadership contest expected to conclude by July 20.
