Bev Craig is officially the new mayor of Greater Manchester, winning a historic 66% vote under a new system — and Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who stepped down to take national office, celebrated her victory by dubbing her “Queen of the North” and challenging her to outdo his legacy. Craig, former Manchester council leader, vows to serve all residents, regardless of how they voted, and plans her first major announcement for Monday. After a long vote-counting night, she’s taking time to unwind with family, curry, and her dog before diving back in. Burnham, full of confidence in her intelligence and grit, urges her to tackle housing, education, and transport — calling this the dawn of Greater Manchester’s best decade.
