Story summary

In November 2027, Manchester, a city in northern England, will host the G20 summit, an annual meeting of leaders from the world's largest economies. The decision was made prior to Prime Minister Andy Burnham becoming prime minister but aligns with his agenda for regional growth and devolution. During this period, the UK will hold the G20 presidency after it is transferred from the United States in December 2023. Burnham confirmed the summit's location during a visit to the UN General Assembly in New York. The event, scheduled at Manchester Central Convention Centre on November 27-28, 2027, will be the largest of its kind ever hosted by the city and is expected to involve hundreds of local people and cost an estimated £7.2 million for security alone.

🔮 The man who was the mayor of Greater Manchester a matter of months ago is now the prime minister, and so finds himself caught up in it all at a local level, a national level and a diplomatic level.
🔮 Speaking at the White House on Monday, Trump said: "I will tell you, I would have said, 'don't let them have bail'.
🔮 The funeral will take place in a few days' time.
🔮 The pitch from Andy Burnham is that "hope comes from honesty," there needs to be "less drift and more direction" and there needs to be a willingness to say "the things politicians usually avoid."
🔮 Prime Minister Andy Burnham, a mayor a matter of months ago, sat next to the most powerful man in the world.
🔮 Burnham, asked by broadcasters if the deal is "dead", later said the UK will "work hard" to find a resolution between the different sides and he is "confident we can find it working with our US partners".
🔮 So, I will go with where I feel it's right, to meet him where he is at, and search for that common ground, which I'm sure we'll find," the prime minister told reporters on his flight to the US, adding "I'm looking forward to it."
🔮 - Published World leaders, including Donald Trump, will head to Manchester next year for the G20 leaders' summit.

🔮 - Published Andy Burnham has said the UK will provide "defensive air-to-air refuelling" support for Saudi Arabia, in response to attacks the country has faced from the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
🔮 - Published "It makes us look a bit like a pirate ship," a senior Reform figure acknowledges privately, deeply frustrated that after a year in which they say the party has "radically professionalised" the events of the last few days could still happen.
