Chris Mason: Burnham is fifth PM in four years - now he'll try to buck the trend
Determined to hit the ground running, the former mayor hopes to maintain the leadership style he adopted in Manchester.
Keir Starmer's appointment of Rachel Reeves as Chancellor and Thangam Debbonaire as Foreign Secretary sets the stage for his government's policy priorities. This move signals a focus on economic growth and international relations.
The new government's agenda will likely be shaped by its commitment to change, as Starmer emphasized in his first speech as Prime Minister. With a large majority, the government faces high expectations from voters and the opposition.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the government's direction, with the Budget and other key policy announcements expected. The government's ability to deliver on its promises will be closely watched, both by the public and by financial markets.
