What to Expect From Andy Burnham at Labour Party Conference
Burnham will outline a reset for Britain and confront left-wing pressure over Gaza and Israel policy as Labour seeks a break from the Brexit era.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham will use his first Labour conference in Liverpool on Sunday to pledge a "new direction" for the country, telling voters it is "time for Britain to believe again."
- Drawing a line under the country's turbulent 10-year period since the Brexit vote, Burnham vowed to establish a more stable foundation for his government's policy agenda. The conference and October's Budget are key steps in his vision.
- Facing pressure from the party's left, Burnham defends his "reset" of relations with Benjamin Netanyahu's government, believing the "vast majority" of delegates will support Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband's recent changes on Israel policy.
- Recent polling suggests a "Burnham bounce" is emerging, while Reform UK's share has dropped to 21% in YouGov surveys and 63-68% of Lib Dem and Green voters would tactically support Labour to block Reform.
- Party HQ recently launched "operation second term" to strengthen campaigning, sparking early election speculation, though Downing Street insists no such vote is planned as Burnham intends to present tangible achievements first.
