UK PMQs LIVE | Andy Burnham Faces First Prime Minister's Questions in House of Commons
.
.
LONDON — British Prime Minister Andy Burnham faced lawmakers in the House of Commons for his inaugural Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) session on Wednesday, marking his first major parliamentary test since taking office on July 20, 2026. Facing scrutiny from Conservative Opposition Leader Kemi Badenoch and backbench MPs, Burnham defended his administration’s legislative agenda, which emphasizes regional devolution, public control over key utilities such as water, housing, and energy, and targeted measures to address the rising cost of living. The session followed Burnham’s debut speech on Tuesday, where he pointed to the legacy of Margaret Thatcher, austerity, and Brexit for a decade of low economic growth, while calling the privatized water sector a 'leaking monument' to failed policies. Amid pressure regarding potential tax rises in the upcoming October 28 budget and a backbench push for a National Commission on Electoral Reform under the Representation of the People Bill, the prime minister also reiterated commitments to increase UK defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2030.
