UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham rules out early general election
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has made it clear there won't be an early general election, even though Labour is riding high in the polls.
He's staying focused on running the country and delivering on promises, saying Andy Burnham said, "You know, people want me, new in office, to be getting on with the job of delivering on the things that we've discussed, rather than putting self-serving politics before that, which was what I would be doing if I call an election. I'm not going to do that."
For now, it's all about steady leadership over quick wins.
