Episode Details

Andy Burnham’s bold vision for a “rewired Britain” is heating up the constitutional debate, as he pitches a new “No 10 North” in Manchester to rebalance power across the UK. He’s pushing for deeper devolution — including new powers for Aberdeen to manage its post-oil transition and reforms to business rates and welfare — arguing that growth must come from the ground up, not top-down. His plan challenges Scotland’s devolved government, raising questions about who controls economic policy and investment. With Greater Manchester as proof of concept, Burnham’s proposal could reshape how the UK is governed — sparking fierce debate over regional autonomy and the future of British politics.
