Kyle Says Burnham Will Keep Labour’s 10-Year Industrial Strategy

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 6

Summary

  • Peter Kyle said Labour’s industrial strategy would survive the party’s looming leadership change because Andy Burnham, the only declared successor to Keir Starmer, is already committed to it.
  • Burnham had already seen the policy’s effects in Greater Manchester, Kyle said, pointing to Burnham’s experience as mayor there until last month.
  • The reassurance aims to signal continuity for Labour’s 10-year industrial growth plan as the governing party prepares for a change at the top.
