Investing.com -- UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is facing pressure to define his government's economic strategy ahead of the Oct. 28 budget, with Labour officials questioning how his administration will tackle weaker growth, strained public finances and higher inflation, Bloomberg reported on Saturday.
Burnham has pushed ministers and civil servants to move quickly since replacing Keir Starmer, encouraging his team to overcome bureaucratic and legal obstacles rather than accept that policy changes cannot be delivered.
The approach has produced several early political wins, but officials and Labour figures told Bloomberg the harder economic decisions remain unresolved.
Chancellor John Healey pledged fiscal stability in his first major speech this week and stressed the need to reduce borrowing. His comments caused some confusion, with observers expecting the government to loosen its fiscal rules to permit more borrowing at the October budget.
