## Resource

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. As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham vows to bring stability and a “new plan for Britain,” prioritizing regional power-sharing and tackling soaring living costs. But his path is rocky: he must manage global tensions, including with President Trump, while navigating domestic pressure from both Reform UK and the Greens. With Britain’s political landscape shaken by recent leadership churn, Burnham’s biggest challenge? Proving he’s here to stay — and actually improve lives.
