Summary
Andy Burnham has just become the UK’s new prime minister, stepping in after Keir Starmer’s two-year tenure — all without a general election, since voters pick parties, not leaders.

With Britain’s political landscape shaken by recent leadership churn, Burnham’s biggest challenge? Proving he’s here to stay — and actually improve lives.
