Yes, I checked the new PM Andy Burnham's first comment statement on 1st September 2026.
The overall message was a fairly sharp change in tone and direction from the previous government.
Rong turns over roughly the past 40 years and needed a more optimistic, practical form of politics rather than continued division.
He blamed long-term problems including de-industrialisation, austerity, centralisation and Brexit for weak growth and falling living standards.
His emphasis was on rebuilding productive capacity and improving living standards rather than simply managing decline.
He wants regions and cities to have substantially more control over economic development, transport and public services.
He proposed a number 10 north, a number 10 north presence in Manchester as a symbol of that shift.
He signalled support for bringing areas such as water, energy and transport under greater public control, arguing that essential services should work for the public rather than primarily for shareholders.
He pointed to measures such as capped bus fares and reduced energy costs and said tackling household costs would remain central to the government's agenda.
He highlighted the reduction in small-bought crossings, while presenting immigration as an issue that needed practical management rather than simply political rhetoric.
He defended the government's decision to release prisoners serving imprisonment for Public Protection, IPP for short, Sentences who would serve their required time, arguing that the system had to be both firm and fair.
