## Resource

Andy Burnham is now Prime Minister — rising from MP to top of the UK government in record time after Keir Starmer’s resignation. Burnham’s agenda centers on slashing living costs and decentralizing power from London, operating from his Manchester base. He’s pushing for public ownership of utilities, more council homes, and ditching the digital ID program — while reportedly approving new North Sea drilling. His deputy vows to deliver bold, manifesto-driven action, with a Cabinet announcement imminent. His swift rise was cemented by a by-election win and strong party backing, plus a legacy of advocacy for justice, especially around Hillsborough.
