Summary
Andy Burnham used his first full day as prime minister to address the Farnborough International Airshow, making aerospace an early platform for his economic message.
At Farnborough, he called for closer collaboration with industry to drive reindustrialisation, create jobs and strengthen the UK’s manufacturing base.
The appeal centered on sectors the government sees as strategic— aerospace, defence, security and space— which already support hundreds of thousands of jobs across the UK.
The speech signaled Burnham’s intent to tie industrial policy closely to manufacturing revival from the outset of his premiership.
