Burnham pins Brexit for decade of UK growth stagnation in Commons debut

Andy Burnham used his first Commons address as prime minister to blame Brexit for a decade of low UK growth, calling it one of a series of 'wrong turns' since the 1980s, while outlining a decentralisation drive, signaling possible public ownership, reaffirming support for Ukraine and net-zero policies, and hinting at electoral reform after Lib Dem pressure—while sticking to not rejoining the single market or customs union and dodging defence-spending questions.
