New policies, election speculation: What to expect from Burnham's first Labour conference as PM

Andy Burnham had plenty to say about where the government - and the country - was going wrong at last year's Labour conference in Liverpool.

But that was at a fringe meeting on the sidelines of the main event.

Now, as Labour leader and prime minister, he is the main event - and it is down to him to show party members and the wider public that he has some answers.

Earlier this week, he said his debut leader's speech would leave nobody in any doubt about "what I'm trying to do in this role".

"People are going to know the direction I want to take this country and I will set it down quite clearly," he told reporters en route to the UN General Assembly in New York.

An internal No 10 note has set out the broad themes he will explore when he takes to the stage in Liverpool on Tuesday - including setting out long-term solutions to build a belief that the future can be brighter.

So in his speech he is likely to point to his forthcoming 10 Year Plan for the UK – which, he says, will have "making life more affordable" at its core.

As for the specifics of what he will say, some of it will be very familiar to anyone who was listening to his conference fringe speech 12 months ago.
