Andy Burnham's powerful first Commons speech as Prime Minister

Summer recess is over and Andy Burnham has returned to Westminster, now as Prime Minister. In his first Commons speech, he sets out a vision for a Britain shaped by regional power, public investment, and economic growth. Arguing that decades of centralisation, privatisation, deindustrialisation, austerity, and Brexit have let down British communities, the former Manchester mayor promised a major redistribution toward local regions. He sets out plans for stronger public control of essential services, more council housing, and pushes Number 10 North's ability to drive growth. But can Burnham be the “circuit breaker” that Britain needs? Like PoliticsJOE? We need your support:   / politicsjoe
