Mr Burnham returned to the Commons for the first time in a decade on Tuesday, where he led a marathon address.
He suggested that a "series of wrong turns" in the last 40 years had left Britain in a predicament, and that the UK's stagnant growth was a result of the nation's exit from the European Union and Tory policies.
The Prime Minister said: “The government I lead will be relentless in giving people and places what they were promised 10 years ago: ownership and control, and from that control over their destiny comes change and growth.”
