UK PM Andy Burnham backs written constitution for Britain

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has expressed support for establishing a written constitution in the United Kingdom. Burnham, who recently took office, views this as a crucial step for a "new constitutional settlement" and a "new clear set of principles" to govern the country. He argues that the absence of a codified constitution disempowers regions and leads to ongoing debates on fundamental governance issues, unlike most other nations which rely on a single authoritative document.
