- Burnham declares war on ‘cover-up culture’
Andy Burnham pledged to end the U.K.’s ‘cover-up culture’ and support the Public Office (Accountability) Bill, named after the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy. The legislation aims to impose a duty of candor on public officials and address historical injustices like the Grenfell Tower fire and nuclear test veterans’ cases.
