Andy Burnham becomes UK prime minister, vows to tackle cost of living
Andy Burnham has become Britain’s new prime minister after being elected Labour leader unopposed, replacing Keir Starmer, who resigned after two years in office despite leading Labour to a landslide election victory.
King Charles formally invited Burnham to form a government after accepting Starmer’s resignation. In his first speech outside Downing Street, Burnham pledged to restore stability to British politics, introduce a new style of government and unveil measures to ease the cost of living crisis. He becomes Britain’s seventh prime minister in a decade, taking office at a time of mounting economic and political challenges.
