Andy Burnham to give regional mayors share of income tax

Andy Burnham is set to receive a share of income tax as part of a plan to give regional mayors more power. The prime minister believes this move will empower "every postcode" by decentralizing control over taxation. Critics, however, argue that the plans lack sufficient detail and clarity. The proposal aims to increase regional autonomy, but its implementation and potential impact remain uncertain.
