Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Badenoch Says Burnham's Plans Are 'Airy-Fairy'
Caption: Badenoch Says Burnham's Plans Are ‘Airy-Fairy’ Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has criticised incoming prime minister Andy Burnham, describing him as a "people pleaser” and warning that his plans for government are “airy-fairy". Speaking ahead of Burnham taking office on Monday, Badenoch said he had failed to show he understood the country's biggest priorities and questioned whether he was prepared to make difficult decisions. The criticism came after Burnham pledged to deliver the biggest political change in 40 years, including boosting economic growth and shifting more power away from Westminster. Badenoch said Britain needs strong leadership, not popularity, and argued Burnham's first speech as Labour leader was aimed more at Labour members than at the country as a whole.
