‘Breathing space now’: New UK PM Burnham vows cost-of-living relief, 10-year reform plan
Earlier, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Burnham has become the new British prime minister.
Burnham arrived at Buckingham Palace just after Keir Starmer officially resigned as prime minister.
During his meeting with King Charles III, Burnham was asked to form a new government and became the country’s new prime minister.
Earlier, Starmer made his final speech as prime minister outside 10 Downing Street, and said: “My work is done.”
He wished his successor Burnham “every success,” and thanked Downing Street staff and his wife Victoria for their support.
“Sir Keir Starmer MP had an audience of The King this morning and tendered his resignation as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury, which His Majesty was graciously pleased to accept,” the palace said in a statement.
Burnham is expected to arrive at 10 Downing Street to hold his first speech as prime minister later Monday.
