New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has taken charge, immediately restructuring his predecessor's cabinet to signal a shift in leadership.The 56-year-old Labour leader, who became PM after replacing Keir Starmer, pledged a 10-year plan to tackle cost-of-living pressures and promised to end rough sleeping on the streets.

His government has already moved to sack key loyalists from Starmer's cabinet, including Rachel Reeves and David Lammy, while promoting allies like John Healey and Ed Miliband.Burnham emphasized re-industrializing Britain, decentralizing power, and creating a 'new political model' to address economic challenges.However, he faces significant hurdles, including a weak economy, high borrowing costs, and rising welfare expenses.

His swift cabinet changes and focus on public control over essentials highlight his commitment to reform, though critics question his ability to deliver amid financial constraints and political opposition.
