Story summary

Andy Burnham, recently appointed as Britain's Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Party, pledged to set the UK on a "new course" a decade after the Brexit vote. At the Labour conference in Liverpool, he emphasized the need to draw a line under the last 10 years marked by drift and division, aiming to foster hope for improvement. Burnham said his vision would leave people with renewed confidence that life will get better. He also acknowledged the impact of social issues like child poverty and promised progress on these fronts. Despite challenges, including potential disputes over Israel policy, Labour's feel-good factor has improved significantly since last year. The conference, along with upcoming government initiatives, aims to set out Burnham’s vision for a more stable Britain.
