1:58:09Now PlayingAndy Burnham has become the UK's seventh prime minister in just over a decade. After Sir Keir Starmer's final speech outside Downing Street, he and his wife headed to Buckingham Palace, where he offered his resignation to The King.
Shortly after, Andy Burnham met The King and then headed to Downing Street. With a large crowd behind him and, unusually, no lectern, he gave his first speech as prime minister, promising to "take power out of here" and "bring back hope".
Then, it was time for Burnham to appoint his Cabinet. John Healey has been appointed Chancellor, a surprise pick after Shabana Mahmood and Ed Miliband were tipped for the role.
Ed Miliband has been appointed foreign secretary whilst Mahmood stays as home secretary.
Louise Haigh, who resigned in 2024, will be returning to cabinet as a cabinet office minister and chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
