The pros, cons, legals, protection from runaway taxation, etc, all need to carefully thought through and debated with the public. There also need to be cultural constraints so that we don't get local Islamic republics in the UK.
No 10 North is extreme gimmicky gollox at this point in time. Manchester city growth may well have outstripped the UK as a whole. But that's not macro-economy, and sigma local economies will not make primary steel, defence procurements, grant North Sea drilling licences and so on.
Burnham needs to engage a clear thinker (that's me) to guide the progression of his initiatives.

I'm sure any devolution would not be an overnight matter, These things take time - more evolution than revolution.
Not sure how relevant listing things here like defence procurement is, no one is suggesting it is not a national matter. But it looks like some aspects of devolution do work, as this report on health shows.
