Burnham to host first cabinet meeting this morning
Burnham will save the average household about 45 pounds a year as he moves to soften energy costs and outline more immediate relief measures.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham dismissed Darren Jones, Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, as part of a significant cabinet reshuffle.
- Jones, a staunch ally of former leader Sir Keir Starmer, faced scrutiny last month after reports linked him to the 'Mandelson files,' where messages allegedly showed him criticizing senior colleagues.
- Several senior ministers aligned with the previous administration, including Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, were also removed as Burnham moved to reshape his government.
- Appointing former Defence Secretary John Healey as Chancellor, Burnham announced an immediate tax cut on energy bills, saving the average household about $60 a year to provide 'breathing space.'
- Pledging to use his premiership as a 'circuit-breaker for Britain,' Prime Minister Andy Burnham aims to unveil a 10-year plan later this year to 'reindustrialise Britain' and end rough sleeping.
