Northern Soul: Burnham's Manchester No10 plan
About this episode
The episode discusses Andy Burnham's vision for a devolution circuit breaker with insights from David Lidington.
The King of the North says he will remain - for some of the time - in his kingdom, but how will Andy Burnham's vision for a devolution circuit breaker - powered by a new Number 10 in Manchester - really work? Former de facto deputy prime minister David Lidington joins the podcast to discuss the would-be PM's big speech. How would No.10 North work alongside the original? Who calls the shots? Who is in charge? And what does it mean for the balance of power across the centre of government? Plus: Keir Starmer’s parting gift/parting shot. What is in the Defence Investment Plan and how much will it cost? Alex Thomas presents. With Hannah Keenan and Tom Pope. Produced by Milo Hynes. Learn more about your ad choices.
