英国新首相安迪·伯纳姆在曼彻斯特设立了"北方第10号"办公室，距伦敦唐宁街约165英里（260公里），标志着他将权力和资金从中央政府转移到地方的承诺付诸实施1。伯纳姆计划每周至少在该办公室工作一天，并配备全职员工和公务员1。
伯纳姆宣布市长将获得"一代人以来权力、资金和责任最大规模的转移"，允许市长保留更多所得税和商业税收入1。这一举措旨在通过赋予地方政府更多自主权来促进经济增长，缩小英国南北发展差异1。不过，具体的新增资金数额尚未公布1。
伯纳姆曾担任曼彻斯特市长9年，获得"北方之王"的昵称1。他的前任、劳党领导人基尔·斯塔默因经济停滞和政策失误在7月下台1。
Britain's new Prime Minister Andy Burnham has established a regional headquarters in Manchester, known as "No. 10 North," located approximately 165 miles from Downing Street in London.1 The office will serve as a venue where Burnham plans to work at least one day per week, supported by full-time staff and civil servants.1
Burnham announced a significant devolution of authority and resources from central government to local authorities, allowing mayors to retain a larger share of income tax and business tax revenues.1 He described this redistribution as "the biggest transfer of power, funding, and responsibility in a generation."1 While the specific amount of additional funding allocated through this initiative remains unspecified,1 the move represents an effort to address regional disparities between southern and northern England and stimulate economic growth in underperforming areas.1
Burnham previously served as Manchester's mayor for nine years, earning the nickname "King of the North."1 He took office following the departure of his Labour predecessor, Keir Starmer, who stepped down in July amid economic stagnation and policy difficulties.1
