Many of former Prime Minister Keir Starmer's highest profile ministers have gone, including Rachel Reeves and David Lammy.
The new chancellor is John Healey, the former defence secretary who resigned last month.
The foreign secretary is Ed Miliband, Shabana Mahmood remains home secretary, and Louise Haigh is minister for the cabinet office.
We have learned that Burnham has spoken to US President Donald Trump as well.
The new prime minister was bold and he intends to be a radical break. He will start tomorrow with help on the cost of living. He talked about tax reductions and social care free at the point of delivery and he is promising to “end rough sleeping”.
How are the markets reacting to Burnham’s early promises? And what will his plans for devolution mean for Scotland and Wales?
