Pillows and pots delivered to Downing Street as Andy Burnham prepares to become Britain's first commuter Prime Minister and split his time between London and Manchester

Andy Burnham, the newly appointed UK Prime Minister, faces logistical challenges as he plans to commute between London and Manchester. Security concerns arose due to his family home's proximity to a public swimming pool, complicating his ability to secure a base in the North. Preparations for his move to Downing Street included delivering bedding and kitchen equipment, while discussions involve setting up a new department potentially funded by abolishing another ministry. Burnham will undergo a security briefing upon arriving at No10, including drafting 'letters of last resort' for nuclear scenarios. His transition includes managing administrative tasks, meeting senior officials, and addressing practical issues like staffing and connectivity.
