Episode Details

Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s next prime minister today, stepping in after Keir Starmer’s surprise resignation just two years into his term. Burnham, the Labour leader and former mayor of Greater Manchester, will formally accept the role from King Charles III at Buckingham Palace — a historic “kissing hands” ceremony. Just weeks ago, Burnham returned to Parliament after winning a special election, and now he’ll address the nation from 10 Downing Street for the first time as prime minister. Labour hopes his leadership will bring much-needed stability as he becomes the seventh PM since 2016.
