Burnham will say the UK is not on the slide and will set out a 10-year plan focused on affordability and living standards.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham makes his United Nations debut on Tuesday in New York, holding his first face-to-face talks with US President Donald Trump on global security, Ukraine, the Middle East, and AI development.
- Burnham seeks a resolution on the Chagos Islands sovereignty deal, which remains paused since April following opposition from the Trump administration; he aims to secure the long-term operation of the joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia.
- Following consultations with Defence Secretary Wes Streeting and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, Burnham confirmed British planes will provide "defensive" air-to-air refuelling for Saudi jets to counter Houthi missile attacks in the Red Sea region.
- Labour MPs warned the Treasury against lowering the mansion tax threshold to £1.5m ahead of Chancellor John Healey's October 28 Budget, fearing the change could hit "ordinary families" in London and affect 271,000 additional properties.
- Burnham will unveil a 10-year plan for Britain ahead of the Labour Party conference later this month, insisting the UK is not "on the slide" while addressing long-term issues to improve living standards.
