Andy Burnham, the new leader of the country's ruling Labour Party, was appointed by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace, officially became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and was authorized to form a new cabinet. This is the 7th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in over a decade. In his first speech since taking office, Burnham promised to launch a “new economic model” and a “new political model” to drive Britain's biggest transformation in nearly 40 years to end long-term political turmoil. In his first speech outside 10 Downing Street, Burnham stressed that he will confront the public's disappointment with politics and make this moment a “watershed moment” for Britain. In terms of the policy agenda, he announced that immediate action will be taken to reduce people's living costs and clarify how to finance relevant measures. The move will be the first step towards the “Ten-Year Plan,” the core goals of which include restructuring the government, devolving more powers to local governments, and putting some basic necessities of life “under stronger public control.”
