Andy Burnham offers to work with John Swinney to push power out of Holyrood and Westminster

Andy Burnham will use a speech in Lanarkshire to urge John Swinney to collaborate on shifting power away from Holyrood and Westminster. The Prime Minister intends to highlight that the Scottish Government remains one of Europe's most centralised devolved administrations. By offering an olive branch to the SNP leader, Burnham aims to promote the spread of devolution across Scotland, seeking a partnership with Swinney to decentralise authority and empower local regions during his Friday visit.
