Burnham Will Be Bolder but Stick to Labour Manifesto, Deputy Leader Says As Andy Burnham prepares to take office on Monday, he faces a daunting challenge: translating his bold promises into tangible results.

Labour's deputy leader, Lucy Powell, insists that Burnham will stick to the promises made in the party's manifesto. These include plans to redistribute power, rewire the country, and take on vested interests.
