Andy Burnham earmarks Ancoats site for 'No 10 North' government base, completion expected by 2028

Summary
Andy Burnham, widely expected to succeed Keir Starmer as prime minister in July, has reportedly earmarked a civil service base under construction in Ancoats, Manchester, for his proposed 'No 10 North' — a northern centre of government. The site is not due for completion before 2028, so Burnham is seeking an interim base in Manchester city centre. He has pledged to shift part of his operation north and overhaul the 'broken' Westminster system, splitting his time between London and Manchester.
