Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Reeves Urges Burnham To Continue Her Economic Strategy
Caption: Reeves Urges Burnham To Continue Her Economic Strategy. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has urged a future government led by Andy Burnham to continue her economic approach, saying it is "beginning to bear fruit”. Speaking at the British Chambers of Commerce conference, Reeves defended her record and said there was still more work to do. She said Burnham shares her commitment to devolving more economic powers to England's regions and urged him to build on the progress already made. Burnham remains the favourite to succeed Prime Minister Keir Starmer after announcing his resignation. Reports suggest Burnham is considering several senior Labour figures as possible chancellor if he forms a government. Some Labour MPs have also called for Reeves' fiscal rules to be relaxed to allow higher spending on defence and other priorities.
