BREAKING: Andy Burnham announces ’10-year-plan’ to save Britain in first speech as PM

Andy Burnham has issued a challenge to Labour MPs, admitting in his first speech as Prime Minister that the Government's performance so far "has not been good enough."

Delivering his remarks outside No. 10 without the traditional podium, the Makerfield MP described the moment as "a time for reflection and renewed resolve," arguing that Britain must restore political stability.

Unveiling his 10-year vision for the country, Burnham said: “I have just come from Buckingham Palace where I have accepted His Majesty the King's invitation to form a Government.

“In doing so, I am acutely conscious that I am the sixth person in the last 10 years to walk up this street, the seventh prime minister since 2016, making this a moment for reflection and new resolution.

“It requires my generation of politicians to raise our game and rise to the new challenge.

“Britain needs to show the world that we can regain our stability once again and that is our challenge to make politics work, to make it work better.

“I know people at home are fed up with politics. I hear you, and I want to be honest with you. We have not been good enough and we need to be better. We will be.

"We will make this moment a circuit breaker for Britain, bringing forward the biggest changes in the last 40 years. A new political model and a new economic model.”
