Andy Burnham becomes British Labour leader; next stop -- prime minister
Live: This was third time lucky for Andy Burnham, who failed twice before to become Labour Party leader in 2010 and 2015. Just a few months ago his path to getting the top job looked to be blocked when he was prevented from running for Parliament in a special election. But when he tried again, following Labour’s disastrous local election results in May, he was allowed to stand and won the Makerfield seat decisively. Today he became leader unopposed, illustrating how quickly political fortunes can change in today’s tumultuous climate.
In the UK, Andy Burnham has been elected leader of the Labour Party and will become the new Prime Minister. In his speech, Burnham paid tribute to his predecessor Keir Starmer, noting that under his leadership Labour "went from the worst defeat to one of the greatest victories in our history" subscribe

Andy Burnham - now the Labour leader - has set out five key promises to improve the Labour party and the country. He says together these will bring back “hope” to British families • • 1. He vows to work “relentlessly” to build a better culture among Labour MPs and across the party. He makes a joke about a Burnhamite - a supporter of Burnham - walking into a bar. He says he wants the barman to say: “We don’t like factional politics here.” • • 2. He promises to build a “new politics” that focuses on what the public really wants, not political point scoring. He says: “How can politicians point fingers when living standards are falling? And politics as a whole isn't working for them.” • • 3. Thirdly, he promises a “change in our political direction”, saying Labour must be “boldly, confidently, authentically”. He says: “We won't try to out Green the Greens or out Reform, Reform.” Explaining Labour’s political thinking, he repeats his beliefs that power should be distributed across the country with more public control of essentials like housing, water, energy and transport. • • 4. He next vows to be a leader for all places, declaring: “I will be a leader for the North, the South, the East and the West, for Scotland, Wales and for Northern Ireland.” He says he loves every part of this country, all the accents, all the traditions, before jokingly adding “some of the football clubs”. • • 5. He saves what some argue is his core pledge until last. “We will take power back from Westminster and Whitehall and give it to the place where you live,” he says. “More power over life's essentials so you can make them work better and more affordable for people.”

FACTBOX-What is new Labour leader Andy Burnham’s policy approach for Britain?
Former Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham will become the new Prime Minister of Great Britain; he has been elected the new leader of the Labour Party. Burnham will replace Keir Starmer. This was announced by the head of the party’s executive committee, Shabana Mahmood. Since Labour retains a parliamentary majority and is in power, the election of a new leader automatically means his appointment as head of government. The change of leader on Downing Street is scheduled for July 20. What the future Prime Minister of Great Britain is known for – read the article on our website. Reuters Max | Telegram | Newsletter | iOS app | Android [in reply to: Keir Starmer will continue to serve as head of government until a new Labour leader is elected. According to The Telegraph and The Guardian, the most favorable scenario for a significant part of the party is the appointment of former Greater Manchester Mayor Andrew Burnham by the parliamentary faction without a competitive election. On June 19, he won a convincing victory in the House of Commons by-election for the Makerfield constituency (also in Manchester), beating the Reform UK candidate with 55% of the vote. According to YouGov, Burnham remains the most popular Labour member in the UK. Burnham's main task at the party level is to consolidate its far-left and moderate factions, says Sergey Shein, a research fellow at the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. He also notes that Burnham's image as a pragmatic politician is unlikely to significantly impact London's current international course. For more details, see Vedomosti's article.

Burnham instead of Starmer: who is the future British Prime Minister and what to expect from him for Ukraine Andy Burnham officially headed the British Labour Party and will soon become Prime Minister. How does he feel about Ukraine? Experience of cooperation with Ukraine: Back in 2022, as mayor, he launched the humanitarian initiative United for Ukraine In 2023, he became a co-founder of the "Unbroken Cities Network" - at the request of Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovy Under Burnham's leadership, Manchester hosted delegations of the mayors of Lviv and Buch to exchange experiences Will the course change:
Burnham officially stated that support for Kyiv will not waver, because Britain's security directly depends on the outcome of the war. But he has long positioned himself as a politician focused on domestic problems, and even promised to minimize foreign visits. So in the early stages, London's focus may shift slightly from the international arena to extinguishing domestic socio-economic crises. Read only the gist of RBC-Ukraine on Google.
