Andy Burnham celebrated opening “No10 North” in Manchester — dubbed the best day of his life — as a bold symbol of devolution, with the PM flying in for a ceremonial visit. But here’s the twist: the permanent site isn’t built yet, set for 2032, and they’re currently using a shared government building that also houses GCHQ and a wedding registry — yes, a bridal party was spotted entering around the same time as the PM. Burnham, who left Manchester for greener pastures years ago, sees this as a chance to empower communities nationwide. While officials claim no extra taxpayer cost, critics question the expense of security and infrastructure. This move, whether symbolic or strategic, signals a serious push to decentralize power beyond Westminster — and we’ll have to wait a decade to see if it sticks.
