27:32Now PlayingWho will be in Andy Burnham's cabinet? It looks like Ed Miliband will not be chancellor after all. We have scoops for you about who's in line for the big jobs in the Westminster cabinet reshuffle. Burnham needs to make room for allies like Louise Haigh and Lucy Powell, so who will be sacked on Monday when Burnham takes over as prime minister?
Westminster is like a hornet's nest of briefing and counter-briefing as Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner, Dan Jarvis, Yvette Cooper and others wait to hear what next week will bring. David Lammy has organised a whip-round for Keir Starmer's rather odd leaving present. And what will Burnham do once he's in post? We look at his immediate priorities and the possibility of a mega fiscal event in the autumn.
