Summary
It's day 4 of Prime Minister Andy Burnham's premiership. His cabinet is now appointed - With some notable appointments to the top jobs, plenty of reshuffling, and some loyal Starmer-ites out. The PM has also begun to announce his measures to tackle the cost of living, from bus fares to energy bills, and a big clear target from the off: end rough sleeping. Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Ailbhe Rea and Tom McTague to discuss.
