Bev Craig succeeds Andy Burnham as Greater Manchester's mayor after winning Thursday's by-election.

Andy Burnham’s plan to give social care workers a pay rise will cost up to £2.2bn, analysis has found.

Andy Burnham said that the dramatic wave of devolution he unveiled this week will “increase the case” for a written constitution. Speaking after publishing a raft of English decentralisation policies, Burnham said his agenda ultimately pointed towards “a new constitutional settlement”.

The prime minister says his "instinct" is to reverse plans by the last PM to limit jury trials in England and Wales.

As “Andycore” hits the fashion press, retail and industry leaders up and down the country line up to see if the new Prime Minister’s agenda on decentralization, technical skills and high street regeneration can revitalize British fashion.
