Andy Burnham blames Brexit for ‘decade of low growth’ in first Commons address as PM
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham blamed Brexit for causing a decade of low economic growth in the UK, linking it with issues like deindustrialisation and government over-centralisation since the 1980s.
- He pledged to bring hope and positivity to all UK communities by giving local areas more control and addressing problems such as rough sleeping, illegal waste dumping, and small boat Channel crossings.
- Burnham promised a government focused on problem-solving over political point scoring, with plans to reform the prison early release scheme and increase public control over essential services like water.
- He expressed solidarity with Germany after a drone attack blamed on Russia, committed to fighting antisemitism, and to addressing climate change, including attending COP31.
