The UK’s G20 presidency will push Andy Burnham to the centre of the global stage. What will he use it for? | Michael Jacobs

TL;DR

This is a chance for the PM to advance his progressive agenda and tackle urgent issues such as AI regulation and climate action Among the many crucial decisions Andy Burnham has to make over the next few weeks, one has gone almost completely unremarked: what Britain’s priorities will be when it assumes the presidency of the G20 next year. Burnham has said he wants to concentrate on domestic policy.

Nauti's Take

This is an opinion piece, not a confirmed announcement of specific G20 measures. Teams should first verify whether Burnham’s government is actually prioritising AI regulation and climate action, which departments are involved, and whether this produces concrete timelines or new requirements for businesses.
