Andy Burnham’s new government is packing a Greater Manchester punch — with four MPs named to Cabinet and three more landing key ministerial roles across health, housing, and education. Lucy Powell becomes Deputy PM and Education Secretary, Angela Rayner returns as Housing Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds takes Business Secretary duties, and Lisa Nandy stays on as Culture Secretary. Meanwhile, James Frith, Jim McMahon, and Paul Waugh join the ministerial ranks. While critics whisper about a north-south divide, Reynolds insists the team reflects national unity — not regional bias — echoing Labour’s 2024 Cabinet structure and pledging a government focused on the whole UK.
