Burnham to Announce Devolution Plan Next Week, Pledging to Transfer Power to Mayors and Regions

According to The Times, Andy Burnham will announce a devolution plan next week, focusing on transferring power and funds from the central government to English regions. The plan includes giving mayors greater control and providing dedicated funding for social housing, welfare, and post-16 education. Whitehall departments will be asked to assess which areas should be handed to local governments, and Burnham may also propose transferring part of tax revenue to regions. Burnham is the sole confirmed candidate for Labour leader so far, with nominations closing on July 16.
