Burnham takes over, tackling homelessness and firing rightwingers

ANDY BURNHAM walked into Downing Street as prime minister today, pledging to introduce a new political and economic model for Britain, starting with an end to rough sleeping. He began by firing many of Sir Keir Starmer’s phalanx of right-wing ministers, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves, deputy premier David Lammy, Science Secretary Liz Kendall, Labour Together factional bruiser Steve Reed and uber-Blairite Business Secretary Peter Kyle all shown the door.
