Andy Burnham Set to Become UK Prime Minister

Andy Burnham will become Britain's next prime minister on Monday after receiving overwhelming backing from the Labour Party, as Keir Starmer steps down.

The incoming leader faces immediate pressure from the Bank of England over economic growth, and from the criminal bar over plans to curb jury trials.

Burnham's commitment to climate action is also under scrutiny after thousands died in recent heatwaves.

A poll shows four in ten Britons still do not know who he is, underscoring the challenge ahead.
