Burnham’s Team and Policy Moves | London News
Description
Andy Burnham’s new Downing Street team is taking shape with a mix of familiar faces from Keir Starmer’s old guard and fresh recruits — including Jonathan Powell on security, Varun Chandra on business, and Graeme Cooke heading policy. Key newcomers like James Purnell as chief of staff and Hayden Munro as political director signal a blend of experience and new energy. While critics worry this is too much “Continuity Keir” for bold change, there are still big potential moves ahead: public ownership of water companies, possible rent freezes, and even a possible revival of North Sea drilling — all while keeping promises on no new licenses.
