Labour leadership frontrunner Andy Burnham has set out his initial ideas for leadership in his first major speech, saying "Westminster is broken" and promising to "fix politics". Speaking in Manchester on Monday, Burnham pledged to "do things differently" and called for "good growth in every British postcode" as he set out his plans for a more devolved approach to governing. Burnham said he was "worried" about what he saw in Westminster and particularly Whitehall, saying the civil service is pulling in different directions. He launched his idea of a "No 10 in the North", with "an extended operation" based in Manchester that focuses on extending devolution not just in the North, but across the country. He called it "the nerve centre of a rewired Britain" and promised that "the days of Whitehall fighting the devolution power into the regions and nations are over for good". Conservative MP Sir Mel Stride joins Kate Garraway and Ed Balls to discuss. Broadcast on 29/06/2026 Stream G
