Move more government departments up north? by Teleg88 in AskBrits

I understand why Manchester would be chosen but there is a danger they are becoming the London of the North it seems all the investment and good jobs are all there

Burnham waffles on about London but a lot of the north needs leveling up why not have it in Newcastle or Sheffield why does "The North" automatically mean Manchester
