Andy Burnham has set out an ambitious vision to transform Britain over the next decade, arguing that meaningful improvements in living standards, economic growth, and regional development cannot be achieved within a single parliamentary term.
The former Greater Manchester mayor, widely regarded as the frontrunner to succeed Sir Keir Starmer as Labour leader and prime minister, said Britain needs a long-term strategy extending to 2036 to reverse years of economic stagnation, regional inequality, and declining public confidence in politics. His proposal centres on devolving power away from Westminster, boosting investment outside London, and creating what he describes as 'good growth in every postcode.'
