Burnham promises to reverse 'four decades of neoliberalism' in first speech as Labour leader

Andy Burnham told his first audience as Labour leader that Britain took a wrong turn in the 1980s, the BBC reported. He said "four decades of neoliberalism" had damaged working-class communities and pledged to reverse it, calling it "the most significant change moment in our politics for 40 years." The critique extends to New Labour's accommodation with that consensus.
