The new leader of the British Labour Party, Bernard Shaw, has accepted the appointment from the British King and is officially elected as the British Prime Minister. According to a report by Reuters on July 23, the British government will use "10 Downing Street in the north of England" in the city of Manchester. Bernard Shaw and other cabinet ministers will regularly work there in the future.
The British Prime Minister’s Office stated in a statement that “10 Downing Street, North” will be responsible for coordinating local economic development and decentralization policies. It is expected that Bernham will visit Manchester office every week, and other cabinet ministers will also use this office regularly.

Bernham said that this new Prime Minister’s Office will be a “war room that makes Britain better.” “We are using this place to transfer power from Westminster to the hands of local people, so that they can take control and turn things around. The days of resistance to decentralization in Whitehall are completely over.”
Bernam will host the first meeting of the reconstituted UK National Economic Council at No. 10 Downing Street in the North, on July 24 local time. Senior cabinet officials and mayors from various regions of England will attend.
Reuters reported that Bernham, who served as the mayor of Greater Manchester, advocated for decentralization and changing the British economic decision-making model centered on London. Establishing a new Prime Minister's Office in Manchester would be the first step in his attempt to transfer and decentralize economic decision-making power.
