Andy Burnham's proposal for a Northern No 10 should serve as a warning, not an inspiration. Germany's experiment of splitting the government between Bonn and Berlin cost the equivalent of £9 billion, then saddled taxpayers with years of duplication and inefficiency. Politicians and civil servants shuttling between two capitals, duplicate offices, and, as we all know, not exactly on the cheap: first class, chauffeured cars, flights, helicopters and hotels, all at the taxpayer's expense. Hardly a model Britain should copy.
Of course the North deserves investment. But just importing a slice of London is neither respect nor value for money. Let's instead build on the North's own identity: reindustrialisation, world-leading manufacturing, science, arts, culture and transport. Create cities that stand proudly on their own, not miniature versions of London.
What do you think is the right future for the North?
