Andy Burnham has taken office as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and unveiled the most sweeping political and economic reform plan in 40 years, pledging to bring hope back to the country and drive forward a 10-year programme starting tomorrow. He said he would devolve power to local communities, revive industry through public procurement, and bring basic services back under state oversight to lower the cost of living.
