Number 10 North

Number 10 North is Andy Burnham’s proposed Manchester office for splitting the Downing Street operation in A firm Andy: what are new British PM’s plans?. The episode treats it as the clearest symbol of Burnham’s commitment to [[DevolutionAsGoverningProject|devolution]].

The source also flags the project’s political risk. Because Burnham was mayor of Greater Manchester, the Manchester office can look like local favoritism unless it is tied to a wider United Kingdom governing strategy for the North, South, East, West, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
