Andy Burnham (and Count Binface) take centrestage as the UK’s famous black door continues to revolve

The article discusses the rapid succession of British prime ministers since the Brexit referendum, focusing on Andy Burnham's unexpected rise to power. Burnham, previously a Labour MP and mayor of Greater Manchester, returned to Parliament after winning a bye-election in the Makerfield constituency. His ascension followed the resignation of Prime Minister Kier Starmer, who faced challenges such as policy inconsistencies and pressure from the right-wing Reform UK party. Starmer's tenure saw diplomatic successes like a trade deal with India and improved relations with the U.S., but internal frustrations led to his exit. Burnham now faces the challenge of establishing himself as PM without prior electoral experience or a formal policy platform.
