The new prime minister is literally moving power north by launching a Manchester branch of Downing Street, aiming to decentralize government and give regions more say. With ministers and hundreds of civil servants relocating, the first major meeting — the National Economic Council — is set for Friday, reviving a dormant body to tackle economic issues head-on. While the move is framed as bringing government closer to people, critics like Kemi Badenoch argue it’s too incremental, urging focus on energy and defense instead. A new building is slated for completion in 2032, continuing a long-term push to reduce London’s dominance — though senior roles remain heavily concentrated there. Relocation support is being offered to those willing to move, marking a bold, if gradual, shift in how power is wielded across the UK.
