Burnham's Devolution Plans Strengthen Case for Written UK Constitution, Says Burnham The recent announcements from Andy Burnham's government on further devolution plans have sparked a necessary conversation about the need for a written constitution in the UK.
Britain's "antiquated" setup has allowed deep seated inequalities to fester. Burnham argues that devolution strengthens the case for a codified arrangement by creating a more decentralized and equitable society.
By giving regional leaders greater control over their finances, he believes they can tackle issues like poverty and inequality head on.
