Andy Burnham crowned Labour leader at special conference

Описание: Andy Burnham will promise to be “unashamedly Labour” when he officially becomes the party’s leader today.

The PM in waiting, who enters 10 Downing Street on Monday, will say in a speech that his government will have the “courage to fix the big things that politics has neglected” and the “conviction to argue for our plans”.

The Makerfield MP will set out plans to focus on economic renewal, more public control and reindustrialisation.

And he will say Britain took “a series of wrong turns in the 1980s” when “political power was centralised and economic power privatised” and that making the economy work for people across the country will require “a new path to the one we’ve been on for the last 40 years”.

He will promise that the party under his leadership will be “unashamedly Labour in our priorities and in the decisions we take, putting people and places at the heart of everything we do”.
