Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham emphasised closer working links without Westminster involvement would help progress be made.
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham emphasised the importance of greater links between Northern England and Scotland
He said: “There’s also lots of opportunity for collaboration where Scotland and the north could be working together to create jobs, improve our housing stock and make sure children aren’t living in cold, damp properties.” But he says for now he is now more interested in working directly with the Scottish Government after meeting SNP First Minister Humza Yousaf earlier this week.
Hitting out at the “Westminster system”, Mr Burnham said the north of England will “never be equal” to the rest of the UK if the current structure remains. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has drawn criticism for suggesting that removing the two-child benefit cap would not be a priority for his party in government.
