Summary
Incoming PM Andy Burnham shocks the nation by announcing plans to revive North Sea oil and gas drilling — a move that directly contradicts Labour’s own manifesto. As he prepares to take office, Burnham unveils a sweeping agenda including public ownership of utilities and a major housing push, while facing criticism from within his own party and the public over his reversal on energy policy. With industry and unions backing the move as vital for jobs and energy security, Burnham’s bold pivot signals a dramatic shift in Labour’s climate stance — and a new era of pragmatic, economically driven governance.
