Andy Burnham, the leading candidate for the position of Prime Minister of Great Britain, stated on Monday that he will achieve "the largest redistribution of power" in the country's history if he succeeds Keir Starmer.
Burnham, former mayor of Manchester, promised to delegate more powers to regional mayors, advocating for a "revolution" in the way Great Britain is governed. In his speech, he emphasized the need to improve living standards and change current policies to revitalize the economy.
Criticism from the opposition was swift, with Conservative leaders accusing him of lacking a concrete plan. Burnham proposed the creation of an office "No. 10 North" to coordinate the devolution of power and promised an extensive program for building social housing. He also introduced the concept of "Manchesterism," a form of business-friendly socialism, advocating for greater public control over essential services.
Speculation continues regarding who will be appointed as Minister of Finance in the event that Burnham takes over as Prime Minister.
