Andy Burnham’s cabinet: Full list of who’s in and who’s out

Andy Burnham became Britain’s sixth Prime Minister in a decade yesterday, taking over from Keir Starmer and promising major political and economic change, as he vowed a ‘circuit breaker’ moment for the country.

The former Mayor of Greater Manchester has been busy setting out his stall for the country and Labour Party over the last few weeks, as he pledged to cut the cost of living, devolve greater powers away from Whitehall and re-wire Britain.
