Andy Burnham: How is the new prime minister changing the direction of government?

An IfG expert webinar assess Andy Burnham's first decisions as prime minister.

Andy Burnham July 2027

One week on from becoming prime minister, Andy Burnham has now appointed his cabinet, reshuffled ministers, launched a series of machinery of government changes, and set out a range of immediate policy decisions.

So what have these early choices revealed about the way Burnham wants to govern? How will his restructured No10 make a difference to the way Burnham leads? What does his reshuffled cabinet reveal about the PM's priorities? And how will the new prime minister set about delivering a "new political model and a new economic model" for the UK?

Sign up now to join an expert IfG panel as they assess Burnham's early decisions, his key appointments, and the way he is approaching the job of prime minister.
