In0:09a deliberate break from his0:10predecessors, Burnham spoke without a0:12lectern or teleprompter, using only a0:14microphone after meeting King Charles0:16III at Buckingham Palace.0:18>> He declared the moment a circuit breaker0:20and said his very first instruction as0:22Prime Minister will be to end rough0:23sleeping across Britain. Cost of living0:25measures will be announced starting0:27tomorrow, July 21st, with a promise to0:30put life's essentials back under0:31stronger public control to make them0:33affordable.0:33>> He also pledged to decentralize power0:35away from Westminster, re-industrialize0:38Britain using public procurement to0:40boost domestic manufacturing, and build0:42more council homes. A 10-year national0:44plan will be brought forward later this0:46year. Burnham acknowledged he is the0:48sixth person in the last 10 years to0:50walk up Downing Street and the seventh0:51Prime Minister since 2016. The new Prime0:54Minister inherits a daunting economic0:56picture. A 133 billion pound fiscal0:59deficit, a cost of living crisis1:01worsened by the Iran war energy spike,1:03and an IMF warning that the fallout from1:05that conflict has yet to be felt.1:07International leaders, including1:08Ukraine's President Zelensky, France's1:10Macron, EU Commission President von der1:12Leyen, and former US President Trump1:14have all congratulated Burnham. But at1:16home, the political reaction was swift.1:19Reform UK leader Nigel Farage called for1:22a general election, arguing Burnham1:24lacks a mandate for the scale of change1:26he is proposing. Conservative leader1:28Kemi Badenoch warned the Prime Minister1:30has no clear plan and urged him not to1:31impose new tax rises. Reform UK leader1:34Nigel Farage argued the Prime Minister1:36does not have a mandate for such1:38sweeping changes and called for a1:40general election. Conservative leader1:42Kemi Badenoch warned the Prime Minister1:44has no clear plan and said he must not1:46raise taxes. Burnham will announce the1:48first cost of living measures tomorrow.1:51The question now is whether he can turn1:52a powerful first speech into a governing1:54mandate, and whether the scale of the1:56economic crisis leaves him room to1:58deliver the circuit breaker he has1:59promised.مضمون پڑھیںخبر کی زمانی ترتیبHeyDexمختصر ویڈیو ↗
