British Labour MP Andy Burnham urged the government to confront upcoming challenges by shifting the economy to benefit everyone, not just a narrow elite. He called for lower water, energy and train‑ticket costs, an end to trickle‑down policies, and a major industrialisation programme in the North of England. Burnham said reforms are needed at Whitehall, the migration system must be overhauled, and the education system should be reoriented toward industry, stressing that this is a decisive moment for change.
