Andy Burnham has replaced Ed Miliband as Energy Secretary, appointing first-term Labour MP Miatta Fahnbulleh to the role. Before entering Parliament, Ms Fahnbulleh was chief executive of the New Economics Foundation, where she advocated for a rapid net zero transition. More recently, she accused Green Party leader Zack Polanski of stealing her vision.

#AndyBurnham stood outside No10 and said he’d end rough sleeping?
He hasn’t managed it in Manchester in 10 years, so how is he going to sort the whole country?
He can’t sort 200 in Manchester, but he’s able to sort 8000 across the U.K.
Blokes full of shit. Just like #Starmer.

Weekly/monthly reminder me and the lads collared Andy Burnham in a Nottingham boozer about six months ago, and after chatting shite about football for a few minutes, we told him to “do something to help pubs”.
Anyway, day two in the job and this is happening 😂

Andy Burnham has built his whole reputation on devolving power and doing things differently, but this is already looking like the same old Westminster rule.

Britain’s Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is no newcomer to the political scene. The former mayor of Greater Manchester has been a Labour Party politician for 25 years, but his emphasis on regenerating left-behind communities and mobilizing the government to tackle affordability has led some to draw comparisons between Burnham and the New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Both men have pledged to address rising rent and home prices by building more affordable units, and Burnham, like Mamdani, whose campaign called for fast and free buses, has championed investments in public transportation.

🇬🇧 Britain has its 7th Prime Minister in just 10 years.
Andy Burnham says his government will deliver the biggest changes Britain has seen in 40 years.
After a decade of revolving-door leaders, soaring taxes, stagnant growth, a migrant crisis, and crumbling public services, Brits have heard plenty of promises about "change."
Unfortunately, the only change they've seen is the UK going from bad to worse

This is so tedious. Equalising income and capital gains tax rates could also raise £10 billion, be much easier to do, and deliver fundamental tax justice at the same time. Why do a wealth tax when there are so many better ways to deliver tax justice? theguardian.com/business/2026/…
