UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham told the Labour party annual conference in
Liverpool he will break with the past to build a “new economy” and “new
politics,” blaming Brexit and long-term privatization for loss of control over
borders and public services. He pledged to strengthen public-sector control of
the water and energy sectors and said he will set out plans to reform the social
care system. Burnham added he is prepared to pursue measures predecessors
avoided and will not shy away from politically difficult issues.
