Explained in plain English

What is 'governing'?

'Governing' means running the country, making decisions, and implementing policies that affect everyone. Andy Burnham says he wants to focus on this, delivering on promises, rather than getting caught up in 'self-serving politics'. It's about the day-to-day work of government, managing public services and the economy.
