Burnham says he is 'finalising' cabinet ahead of becoming PM on Monday

Andy Burnham, the future British Prime Minister, says he is finalizing his cabinet before taking office on Monday. He succeeds Sir Keir Starmer after being backed by 379 Labour MPs and all 11 affiliated trade unions. In his first speech as Labour leader, he promised reforms to the social care system and devolution of power to the regions, rejecting the neoliberal policies of the past 40 years. Ed Miliband and Shabana Mahmood are rumored to be contenders to replace Rachel Reeves as chancellor.
