Andy Burnham delivered his first speech since Sajid Starmer's resignation, promising to introduce the biggest post-war council house building programme and create a 'Number 10 of the North' in Manchester if he becomes Prime Minister. He stated his intention to break with the 'more of the same approach' and build a more collaborative politics by devolving power from Westminster. Political editor Beth Rigby noted the optimism among his supporters but highlighted many unanswered questions about his plans, including how he would fund the housing programme and the lack of scrutiny he has faced. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch dismissed his proposals, arguing that devolved mayors cannot lower energy costs or cut taxes, and criticised the Labour Party. The Welsh First Minister said a Number 10 of the North would mean little to Wales, while the Lib Dems and SNP also responded, with the SNP calling his promises empty and urging devolution of energy powers.
