## Resource

Andy Burnham has officially become Britain’s new Prime Minister, taking over from Keir Starmer after a historic leadership shift. In his first address, Burnham pledged to tackle street homelessness and overhaul a broken system, while calling on politicians to restore stability and reduce toxicity. His appointment marks the seventh PM since 2016, and comes after Starmer’s two-year tenure, during which he celebrated key achievements. Burnham now faces the urgent task of forming his cabinet and delivering on his promises for improved living standards — with the nation watching closely as he begins his new chapter.
