Andy Burnham has become the United Kingdom's new prime minister, promising a major shift in how Britain is governed. Burnham says he will "rewire the state" by transferring more power from Westminster
Fair point, Owen P, but isn't some level of systemic overhaul necessary if the current structure isn't working?

Rewiring the state sounds like something I’d pay an electrician for, not a politician.

It sounds great in theory Cal, but I'll believe it when I see my weekly shop get cheaper. I just hope "rewiring" doesn't end up costing us taxpayers even more.

Absolute game changer! Rewiring the state and shifting power away from Westminster is a massive call right out of the gate. This could completely flip the script on how things are run. Who do you reckon wins big with these reforms? Let me know!
