  "account": "LIVERPOOL: Prime Minister Andy Burnham vowed on Tuesday night to reshape Britain by reversing decades of privatization and introducing free social care during his emotional first address as leader of the Labour Party. The 56-year-old, who replaced Keir Starmer just 10 weeks ago, was visibly moved as he recalled his late father and vowed to fight for his vision. Burnham pledged to introduce free social care in England, a move he acknowledged would be politically costly. He also outlined plans to reform the electoral system, pension payments, and reindustrialize the country. Despite the high costs associated with his ambitious plans, Burnham insisted he was ready to pay the price to build a new kind of Britain.",
