UK not ‘on the slide’, Burnham to tell UN as he gears up for first meeting with Trump – UK politics live
That is my main priority, that’s what people are looking for. I hear people saying the country is on the slide – we’re the fastest growing in the G7, there’s lots to be proud of, there’s a lot right with the country and I’m going to give a really upbeat message when I speak. But the story of the day will instead focus on Burnham’s meeting with someone who does think the UK is “on the slide”, or at least claims to think that.
