Andy Burnham says cost of living plan starts tomorrow in first speech as UK PM

I have just come from Buckingham Palace, where I have accepted His Majesty the King's invitation to form a government.In doing so, I am acutely conscious that I am the sixth person in the last ten years to walk up this street.The seventh Prime Minister since 2016.Making this a moment for reflection and new resolution.It requires my generation of politicians to raise our game.

Later this year, I will bring forward a new plan for Britain, a 10 -year plan, laying out a path from where we are now to where I believe we all want Britain to be, wherever we're coming from, whatever party we support.But I can do something to give people some breathing space now, some help.with the cost of living and I will set out some of those measures starting tomorrow, including how we pay for them.Let us make this the moment when Britain starts to believe again, the moment we bring back hope.Thank you very much everybody.
