No 10 North was unveiled as a flagship attempt to put government closer to communities outside London, but questions are now being raised over the cost and practicality of the operation. Sam Lister, the senior civil servant running No 10 North, reportedly continues to live in a £2.2 million townhouse in Islington and commutes around 200 miles to Manchester during the working week, staying in a hotel while carrying out his role. The arrangement has sparked criticism over taxpayer-funded travel and accommodation, with critics questioning why a senior figure running a major northern operation has not relocated to Manchester. Kevin O'Sullivan is joined by John O’Connell, Chief Executive Of The Taxpayers’ Alliance, to discuss this. #andyburnham #no10north #labourparty #taxpayermoney Have you got a story?
