Where is No 10 North? What we know about Burnham’s push for devolution

• Andy Burnham has opened a new No 10 North office in Manchester, describing it as the "biggest rebalancing of power" the UK has seen.
• The prime minister will work from the Manchester outpost, located in Heron House, opposite Manchester Town Hall in Lincoln Square, once a week during his premiership.
• His initial engagement involved chairing a National Economic Council meeting, which will include regional mayors alongside senior ministers.
• Burnham stated that regional mayors will play a key role in UK policymaking, declaring the era of Whitehall resisting devolution "over for good".
• The initiative aims to accelerate devolution, drive re-industrialisation and growth across the UK and shift power away from Westminster to local levels.
