British Prime Minister Andy Burnham concluded a busy first week in office by opening a part-time northern office in Manchester on Friday. Since taking up residence at 10 Downing Street on Monday, the new UK leader has traveled extensively across England and Scotland and spoken with more than a dozen world leaders.

The new Manchester hub, referred to as "Number 10 North," establishes a physical office where Burnham aims to spend a day each week. This initiative marks the launch of his flagship effort to address and reverse decades of centralizing political power over England within London.
