Andy Burnham’s first few days in Downing Street involved extensive introductory phone calls with world leaders. However, the UK’s new prime minister wants the focus of his period in office to be on domestic policy, including tackling the cost-of-living crisis. The overriding priority for his new government is reigniting economic growth. It has been estimated that, as of the third quarter of 2024, UK real per capita gross domestic product was about 28 percent below what the postwar trend growth of 1955 to 2008 would have yielded.
