UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham opens No10 North office in Manchester to shift power north

Andy Burnham No10 North Manchester devolution cost‑of‑living measures

Andy Burnham took office as the United Kingdom’s 59th prime minister on 20 July 2026 and on his first Friday inaugurated a new government hub in Manchester called “No 10 North”. The office, located in Heron House in the city centre, is intended to be a “situation room” for economic policy and a symbol of the premier’s pledge to decentralise power away from Westminster. Burnham said he will work from the Manchester base at least once a week and that other ministers will also use it regularly.

The opening ceremony also marked the revival of the National Economic Council, bringing senior ministers together with regional mayors to coordinate growth and devolution. In his first week the new administration announced several cost‑of‑living measures, including a cut to VAT on domestic electricity, a £2 cap on bus fares outside London and a 20 % reduction in business rates for pubs, clubs and live‑music venues. Burnham pledged to address social‑care reform, youth unemployment and rough‑sleeping, while facing criticism for remaining silent on a record‑size migrant “mega‑dinghy” arrival.

Experts note that the shift represents a significant, though cautious, rebalancing of authority within England, with the real impact of the new office and devolution agenda yet to be seen.
