Why meet in Glasgow?

Meeting in Glasgow signals a commitment to Scotland, especially after the SNP's recent electoral gains. Hosting the first National Economic Council there aims to show respect for devolved nations and address concerns about centralisation. This strategic choice helps Burnham's party appear inclusive and responsive, potentially boosting their appeal in Scotland and Wales.
