Incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to inherit a heap of compounding, persistent issues from his predecessor, Keir Starmer
The UK is welcoming Andy Burnham as its seventh prime minister within a decade, with the official assuming the post on Monday at a meeting with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace for a formal go-ahead.
Burnham received overwhelming support from 349 out of 401 fellow lawmakers in the Labour Party and was appointed the party’s leader on Friday. Being the only candidate, the politician did not face any troubles in overtaking the party’s leadership.
The appointment marks the end of the troubled two-year tenure of Keir Starmer, who announced his resignation last month. Starmer’s government has been plagued by ever-tanking approval ratings, multiple high-profile political scandals, and assorted domestic and international issues. RT looks into the roots of the Labour PM’s downfall and the challenges his successor is bound to face.
