Burnham outlines 5 ways Brexit damaged the UK economy

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestylePrime Minister Andy Burnham described Brexit as one of a series of wrong turns taken by the UK since the 1980s during his first statement to the House of Commons since taking over from Sir Keir Starmer. Burnham argued that Brexit compounded damage to the UK economy by ushering in a decade of low growth and stalled regeneration, alongside centralisation, privatisation, and austerity. Key priorities outlined in his vision include decentralising political power through devolution, bringing utilities like water back into public ownership, and fostering cross-party cooperation. Pro-EU campaigning organisations welcomed the Prime Minister's remarks, expressing hope that Labour might reconsider its stance on the EU ahead of the next general election. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticised the statement, accusing Burnham of living in the past and focusing excessively on policies from the 1980s.
