The former Greater Manchester mayor, known as the “King of the North,” is set to move into Downing Street on Monday, when he officially takes over from outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer.Speaking at a special party conference at the Trades Union Congress in London, yesterday, Burnham said he was ready to “beat Britain’s new right” and called for the dawning of a new political landscape in Britain.
“I am for us, for all of us. And I want people to say once again that Labour are for us,” UK-based Time Magazine quoted Burnham to have said, pointing towards his “for us” campaign slogan from last month’s Makerfield by-election, his victory of which gave him a path back to Downing Street.
“Change starts with honesty,” Burnham said, pointing to shortcomings across the political spectrum. “We must recognize that this generation of politicians, myself included, have failed to challenge a political culture and an economic model that simply doesn’t work well enough for ordinary people.”
