Today, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced a hyper-local approach to delivering affordable housing, which could provide a blueprint for what is to come under the incoming prime minister, Andy Burnham.
Burnham has made it clear that devolution – decentralising power away from Westminster – is central to his plan for Britain.
The former mayor of Greater Manchester has also said building new council housing is a key pillar of his policy agenda.
