*** BESTPIX *** LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 30: Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Yvette Cooper receives applause after speaking on the final day of the Labour Party conference at Liverpool Experience Campus on September 30, 2026 in Liverpool, England. Labour leader and Prime Minister Andy Burnham pledged to put Britain on a "new path" by rejecting 40 years of privatisation, austerity, and Brexit. In his speech at the Labour Party Conference yesterday, he promised to build an economy focused on the public interest by tackling youth unemployment and the cost-of-living crisis. Key proposals include removing VAT from electricity bills, introducing an NHS-style social care system, and launching a £4 billion publicly owned Great British Grid to lower energy costs while expanding public control over water, housing, and utilities.
