Burnham unveils new cabinet, John Healey to lead finance
Burnham began forming his cabinet after the resignation of Keir Starmer, who stepped down almost two years after the Labour Party's election victory. After being appointed by King Charles III, the new prime minister declared that he wants to bring change, stability and hope to Britain, while also promising a cautious approach to the economy. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The appointment of Healey as finance minister drew the most attention. The sixty-six-year-old politician had unexpectedly left the post of defence minister only a few weeks earlier. In his new role he will face pressure to secure funding for the armed forces as well, since in his previous position he supported an increase in military spending. Tagesspiegel ↗
Burnham is set to chair the first cabinet meeting on Tuesday. He is expected to present measures to help residents cope with the cost-of-living crisis. The new prime minister also spoke by phone with US President Donald Trump, suggesting that alongside domestic measures, the government will quickly be setting its foreign policy priorities as well.
