Sarwar Joins Burnham’s New Cabinet | Belfast News

Anas Sarwar, the fiery leader of Scottish Labour, is poised to land a top ministerial role in Andy Burnham’s new government — heading up the Department for Business, Innovation, Science, and Trade. Sarwar, who helped spark the leadership shake-up back in 2021, has backed Burnham’s bold vision from day one, calling it a “bold Labour vision” as Burnham took office. With Burnham’s cabinet reshuffle signaling a fresh start, the new team is laser-focused on tackling the cost of living — including a major plan to slash electricity bills by £850 million. Officials tout the cabinet as a “united team” brimming with energy, while Burnham insists the appointments reflect both party diversity and national representation — and that the funding is fully in place.
