Andy Burnham will officially become the United Kingdom’s prime minister today, succeeding Keir Starmer and pledging to deliver political stability and economic relief for the British people.
Burnham is expected to deliver his first address outside 10 Downing Street after meeting King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, where the formal transfer of power will take place.
In his inaugural speech, he is expected to outline his government’s priorities, promising a more stable and responsible style of leadership while seeking to ease the economic burden on households.
Outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer will deliver his farewell address before formally handing over office.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch congratulated Burnham on his appointment but questioned whether he has a clear plan for governing, while shadow cabinet minister Alex Burghart also expressed concerns over the cost of Burnham’s proposed policies and how they would be funded.
