  • Number 10 North.

  • Will be the nerve centre of a rewired grid.

  • There was a bit of a fear that it could just be this tokenistic symbol,

  • but actually this seems to be the sort of crucible of power for redistributing power across the country.

  • Imagine good growth in every postcode.

  • And hope in every heart.

  • Burnham at the minute is sort of on the crest of this wave,

  • showing people a bit of what he wants to achieve while not, you know, properly being held accountable.

  • From the Guardians today on Focus, this is the latest with Meet Lucy Hoth.

  • Andy Burnham, our potential prime minister-in-waiting, has given his first major policy speech in Manchester.

  • Josh Halliday, you're our North of England editor,

  • meaning Andy Burnham is a man you know very well in his previous job as mayor of Manchester.

  • Was this the Andy that you know, or was this a more prime ministerial performance in tone and vibe?

  • I mean, Andy Burnham is basically walking on water at the minute, isn't he, in terms of Labour supporters.
