The New Cabinet.

As Andy Burnham becomes Prime Minister, here’s your guide to who’s who in his first Cabinet.​

A new Prime Minister means a new set of people who matter. And the ones who matter most for your sector may not be the names making the headlines.

Andy Burnham is the UK’s 59th Prime Minister and, for a politician who spent the best part of a decade defining himself against Westminster, running it is both a vindication and a trap. His opening moves signal the scale of the ambition: VAT scrapped on energy bills, digital ID plans binned, the biggest council housebuilding programme since 1945, and a “No. 10 North” planted in Manchester as a deliberate rebuke to Whitehall.

The first Burnham Cabinet is now in place, and to help you make sense of it we’ve produced a full briefing on the new government: every Cabinet member, where they’ve come from, what they’re likely to do, and why each appointment matters.
