1:20Now PlayingAndy Burnham appears set to succeed Keir Starmer as prime minister — what could it mean for the UK economy? #uk #politics #worldnews #england #news
Andy Burnham’s likely ascent to the pinnacle of UK politics reflects an aptitude as a politician, orator and organizer that many members of Parliament found lacking in the job’s current occupant, Keir Starmer. Burnham, 56, a Labour politician and former mayor of Greater Manchester, appears set to succeed Starmer as prime minister after the incumbent announced his resignation on June 22.
Who is Burnham, and what could he actually do to change the trajectory of a country weighed down by economic malaise that will now have had five prime ministers in four years?
