Andy Burnham's First Speech as Prime Minister: 'Circuit Breaker for Britain'
Andy Burnham delivers his first speech as Prime Minister after accepting the King's invitation to form a government. He acknowledges public frustration with politics and promises a 'circuit breaker' for Britain, proposing the biggest changes in 40 years. Burnham outlines a new political and economic model, including decentralizing power, re-industrializing Britain through public procurement, and putting life's essentials under stronger public control. He announces immediate cost-of-living relief measures to be detailed the following day, along with plans to end rough sleeping, build more council homes, reform education, and increase mental health support. Burnham calls for national unity and a renewed sense of hope.
