Summary
Andy Burnham is set to become Prime Minister tomorrow, stepping in from Keir Starmer with full Labour backing and a clear mandate to reset priorities. His first moves will include scrapping the controversial digital ID plan — scrapped amid cost concerns and public backlash — to refocus on the cost of living crisis. Burnham also plans to devolve power, boost UK-wide economic growth, and pursue cross-party cooperation, even as opposition leaders signal a more competitive stance.
