Burnham calls for more regional empowerment ahead of devolution summit

Original: Burnham says he wants to offer more ‘regional empowerment’ ahead of devolution summit – UK politics live By Andrew Sparr

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says he wants to offer more 'regional empowerment' ahead of a devolution summit. The prime minister is in Glasgow meeting Scottish and Welsh leaders to discuss the 'next stage of devolution'. Burnham's intervention signals pressure for deeper powers for England's regions as the UK government's devolution plans come under scrutiny.

Why now: A devolution summit bringing together the prime minister and Scottish and Welsh leaders has put regional power-sharing back at the centre of UK politics.
