Andy Burnham Takes Charge at 10 Downing Street | Europe News

Britain’s new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is set to take the reins at Number 10 today after a dramatic leadership shake-up. Former PM Keir Starmer, who just two years ago led Labour to a historic election win, is stepping down — ousted by his own party — and will deliver a farewell speech before meeting the King. Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester, will follow suit with his own audience with the monarch, then immediately begin assembling his cabinet and outlining his agenda. His priorities? Empowering local communities, tackling soaring living costs, and restoring national hope. With major announcements expected, Burnham’s first day will be historic — and his handling of the nation’s biggest challenges will be watched with intense scrutiny across the UK.
