Andy Burnham became the new UK Prime Minister on Monday. He removed several Whitehall aides who backed Keir Starmer, his predecessor. Burnham now starts his first 100 days in charge. He will push key key reforms from Unlock Democracy. These plans cover community-led candidate selection, taming the whip system and a fresh recall rule for offending MPs. Burnham wants to improve public faith in politics. He made clear he is after steady leadership after Starmer’s resignation last month following the election defeat. watchers say the move is bold.
