Andy Burnham vows 'new direction' for UK at Labour Party conference

Prime Minister Andy Burnham arrived in Liverpool on Saturday for his first Labour Party Conference as leader, vowing to set the UK on a "new direction" and draw a line under a decade of "drift and division" following Brexit.

Burnham stated that his upcoming keynote speech on Tuesday will focus on making life more affordable, reducing the cost of living, and delivering good growth in every postcode. Building on his previous regional focus, he reiterated commitments to work alongside local mayors on transport and high-street rejuvenation, while pursuing further regional power shifts.
