British Prime Minister Andy Burnham will on Friday open a new government base in Manchester dubbed "No. 10 North" in a nod to his 10 Downing Street office in London, as he seeks to shift economic decision-making away from the capital. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham will on Friday open a new government base in Manchester dubbed "No. 10 North" in a nod to his 10 Downing Street office in London, as he seeks to shift economic decision-making away from the capital. Burnham, who became prime minister on Monday after succeeding Keir Starmer, is moving quickly to put his stamp on government, with the new base in northern England intended to signal a shift away from what he said was decades of economic decision-making centred in London. No. 10 North will initially operate from Heron House in central Manchester, a city-centre office building that houses Britain's intelligence, cyber and security agency's northern hub. Burnham is expected to work from the Manchester site each week, while other ministers will also regularly use the office, the government has said.
