Andy Burnham will promise to be “unashamedly Labour” when he officially becomes the party’s leader on Friday before taking over from Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister.
Burnham's Vision for Britain
The Makerfield MP will say in a speech that his government will have the “courage to fix the big things that politics has neglected” and the “conviction to argue for our plans”. The former Greater Manchester mayor will be confirmed as Labour leader in a special conference and then enter No 10 on Monday.
Focus on Economic Renewal
Mr Burnham will set out plans to focus on economic renewal, more public control and reindustrialisation. He was the only candidate to get the required support to replace Sir Keir as party leader after his resignation.
