Andy Burnham used his first speech as UK Prime Minister to promise an end to rough sleeping, outline plans to shift power away from Westminster and address the cost‑of‑living crisis. He pledged a new political and economic model focused on collaboration, public control of essential services and reindustrialisation. Burnham announced a forthcoming 10‑year plan for the country and immediate measures to ease living costs. He also committed to increasing support for young people, building more council homes and strengthening preventative public services, urging the public to unite behind a renewed national sense of purpose.
