Labour leadership frontrunner Andy Burnham will use a major speech to confirm plans for a "No 10" in the North, as he sets out his vision for devolution and economic reform. Speaking in Manchester on Monday, the newly elected Makerfield MP is expected to pledge a "circuit-breaker" for Britain and promise "good growth in every postcode", with allies billing it as the biggest shift of power from Whitehall in modern times. The former metro mayor will call for decision-making to be pushed back into local communities as part of his vision to "lift Britain back up". Burnham, who served as a minister and on the Opposition frontbench before becoming a regional mayor in 2017, will argue his generation of politicians must take responsibility for declining public trust. Daily Mirror Columnist Kevin Maguire and former Conservative Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng join Kate Garraway and Ed Balls to discuss the day's news.
