UK’s new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met with England's regional mayors on Tuesday in Downing Street to discuss greater devolution. Greater Manchester's Mayor Andy Burnham said a new council for regions and nations will be established in order to ensure voices are heard in Whitehall.

The new Labour government said it is replacing the words 'levelling up' with 'local government' in the department's name and ministerial titles. The new Prime Minister will also head to Washington for a Nato summit in his first international trip as prime minister.
