Britain’s new leader shifts power from Downing Street to Manchester with ‘No. 10 North’

Britain’s new leadership has established a secondary hub of power in Manchester, located approximately 165 miles (260 kilometers) from the prime minister’s traditional residence and office at 10 Downing Street in London. The new facility, referred to as "No. 10 North," is situated within a modern office building.

This move represents a shift in the operational geography of the British government, decentralizing power from the capital. By establishing a presence in Manchester, the administration is creating a functional extension of the prime minister's office outside of the long-standing London headquarters.
