Newly-minted Labour Party leader Andy Burnham is set to meet with the UK's King Charles III on Monday, the traditional final step in becoming the country's head of government.
Burnham will be the seventh British prime minister in the last 10 years since the UK voted to leave the European Union.
His predecessor Keir Starmer announced that he was stepping aside in June after several Cabinet ministers resigned amid plummeting poll numbers and questions about his leadership.
Former mayor of Greater Manchester Burnham managed to win a risky special election in June in order to re-enter parliament.
What is expected today?
