Burnham To Put Optimism At Heart Of Vision For Britain. Prime Minister Andy Burnham will put a "sense of optimism" at the heart of his vision for Britain's future when he delivers his first Commons statement since taking office. Burnham will tell MPs his growth agenda will focus on stronger public control of essential services and shifting more power away from Westminster. He will highlight No 10 North, the government's new Manchester-based unit, which he says will fundamentally reshape how Britain is governed. Burnham is also expected to promise to make life more affordable wherever possible, following measures including the return of the £2 bus fare cap, removing VAT from domestic electricity bills and cutting business rates for pubs and music venues. The statement marks a major test for Burnham as MPs return and his new government faces a challenging political autumn.
