In his first speech as leader, Burnham called for a break from factional politics, saying "factionalism has bedevilled us" and pledging to build a culture of "one Labour team." He said Labour could not defeat "Britain's new right" if consumed by infighting.

Burnham argued in his speech that Britain took "a series of wrong turns in the 1980s" when political power was centralized and economic power privatized, and pledged to reverse that trend by transferring control of essential services to local communities.

In his speech, Burnham identified social care as a long-neglected priority, saying he would "expend political capital" on fixing it and would not "kick the can down the road." He also highlighted plans for economic renewal and new industrial jobs.

Burnham closed his speech by pledging to conduct a summer listening tour across the UK in August, with stops including Port Talbot in Wales and Aberdeen, Scotland. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said Burnham had "absolutely no mandate of any kind at all."

Burnham will be the United Kingdom's seventh prime minister since 2016. He succeeds Starmer, whose government saw Labour trail Reform UK in opinion polls and suffer heavy losses in local elections in May 2026.

Burnham plans to conduct a listening tour across the UK in August while Parliament is in recess, with Port Talbot in south Wales — which lost around 2,800 jobs following the closure of its last steel-making blast furnace in 2024 — among the areas on his itinerary.
