22:41Now PlayingBarring any last-minute surprises, Andy Burnham will become Prime Minister three weeks today.
But what is his 10-year mission for the country and how will he achieve it?
In his first major speech in Manchester, Burnham will set out his plans for the economy, welfare and devolution with a pledge to deliver “good growth in every postcode.”
Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy examine whether his promise of the biggest transfer of power out of Whitehall in modern times amounts to a genuine political reset.
Back in London, the battle for future cabinet jobs is already underway and Anne reveals why one senior role could have David Miliband’s name on it.
