Reports Burnham's speech at the People's History Museum in Manchester, where he declared 'Westminster is broken' and pledged a 'circuit-breaker' for Britain. Sets out plans for a 'No. 10 in the North,' regional devolution of social housing and post-16 education, and his 'Manchesterism' economic philosophy, which he described as business-friendly socialism opposed to trickle-down economics.

“'Westminster is broken,' says Burnham in first policy speech since leadership bid, as he pledges to 'do things differently.'”
