Burnham's 'Number 10 North' office launches 50-job hiring drive

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's Number 10 North office in Manchester, set up in July as a sister to Downing Street, has posted 50 external job adverts, including a 'rewiring the state deputy director'. Recruits will work with mayors and councils to remove barriers holding places back. The Conservatives called the office a gimmick; no civil service redundancies are planned.
