LONDON, July 20, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham vowed on Monday to put forward a 10-year plan for Britain, saying the country needed to make politics work.

"Britain needs to show the world that we can regain our stability once again," Burnham said just after being appointed by King Charles III to take over from Keir Starmer. He pledged to "issue my first instruction to end rough sleeping in our country" once he starts work.
