Burnham speech latest: Labour MP to reveal devolution plan in first major announcement since launching PM bid
What Burnham is likely to say in his first speech since Westminster return
- Andy Burnham is scheduled to deliver his first major speech since returning to Westminster, advocating for a radical devolution of power across Britain.
- He will propose a 'circuit-breaker' for the country by transferring decision-making authority from London to local communities.
- A central part of his plan includes establishing a 'No10 North' in Manchester, intended to coordinate economic policy.
- Burnham, recently sworn in as the MP for Makerfield, is widely anticipated to become the next prime minister.
- He is also reportedly considering his future cabinet, with Rachel Reeves unlikely to remain as chancellor and other senior figures being considered for key positions.
