Tracking Burnham’s policy positions

Andy Burnham has now entered Downing Street as Britain's seventh Prime Minister in a decade - and, if the political commentators are to be believed, one of the least known to the country having been coronated only a few weeks after become an MP.

He arrives having said little about what the specifics of what actually intends to do.

Bradshaw Advisory helps businesses to navigate through the political risks that come from a changing prime minister (and most of the Cabinet).

Our in-house built Burnham Policy Tracker is an AI-powered reseource that scans twice a day for what the Prime Minister and his inner circle are saying, and turns it into a structured, sourced record of his emerging governing agenda and policy platform.

The tracker flags where he departs from the outgoing government's position, and where he has reversed himself.

Alongside the policy positions sits a view of where his attention is focussed and which policy areas he keeps returning to.

In the opening weeks of a new premiership, we are expecting a flurry of announcements and a programme for government that is being written in real time.
