His proposals include creating a 'No 10' in the North and a '10-year mission' focused on reindustrialisation, housing, infrastructure, and reforming essential utilities. Burnham aims for the biggest transfer of power out of Whitehall, giving regional mayors more control over social housing, welfare, and post-16 education. He will also commit to public procurement reform, prioritising 'buying British' to revive industry and secure social value, alongside education reforms for academic and technical parity. The speech comes as Burnham is expected to become Labour leader, with senior party figures dismissing calls for a general election and focusing on governing.
