Labour pins hopes on Andy Burnham reboot as he plans policy blitz

Andy Burnham, who has long dreamed of leading his party and country, is set to become Prime Minister after Sir Keir Starmer's resignation. He plans a blitz of policy announcements and appearances in his opening days. Burnham was barred from standing for a parliamentary seat in January but eventually became Labour leader unopposed. The handover of power is accelerating, with access talks and national security briefings underway.
