British Prime Minister sets up new government headquarters in Manchester as a sign of his declared decentralizing drive

The new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has announced that Manchester will serve as the new 'crisis room' for the government, signaling his commitment to decentralization. From this northern city, Burnham will lead the first meeting of the reactivated National Economic Council this Friday. He emphasized that power and resources have been concentrated in the central government for decades, leaving many communities neglected. The new headquarters, named '10 North,' aims to shift power to local areas, allowing citizens to influence decisions at the grassroots level. This move marks a departure from previous resistance to decentralization by Whitehall, with other ministers expected to work regularly from the new location.
