UK PM Burnham blames Brexit, Thatcher for low growth, vows change

In his first Commons speech as PM, Andy Burnham attributed a decade of low UK growth to Brexit and Thatcher-era policies, calling for 'brutal honesty' about past 'wrong turns.' He signaled a commitment to 3% of GDP on defense, framing a new optimism for the next decade. The speech marks a rhetorical shift from prior Conservative policy, but specifics on implementation remain unclear.
