Burnham’s Bold Cabinet Shuffle | Belfast News

Andy Burnham’s bold political reset is underway as he takes the reins with a sweeping Cabinet overhaul and a clear focus on tackling the cost-of-living crisis. He’s reshuffled key roles — appointing John Healey as Chancellor, Louise Haigh as First Secretary of State, and Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary — while sidelining several previous ministers. With no deputy prime minister this time, Burnham’s team emphasizes unity across Labour factions, gender balance, and greater ethnic diversity. Major departments are being restructured, including dissolving the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and shifting AI policy to the Cabinet Office. Burnham’s diplomatic outreach to global leaders signals a new era — one aimed at reshaping Britain’s political and economic future.
