Story summary

Prime Minister Andy Burnham praised the bravery of women who reported Russell Brand's sexual offenses at Southwark Crown Court, stating that their actions will "change the system." Speaking at a hospital visit in Hertfordshire while Brand’s sentencing was underway, Burnham vowed to be "relentless" in supporting victims. The 51-year-old comedian and actor was convicted last week of raping a woman in 2009 and sexually assaulting female TV and radio workers between 2004 and 2009. Burnham committed to ensuring that every police force has rape and serious sexual offense teams by the end of next year, which was originally scheduled for 2029 but accelerated due to his work as mayor of Greater Manchester.
