El primer ministro británico Andy Burnham inaugura el ‘Number 10 North’ en Manchester

Andy Burnburn, exalcalde del Gran Manchester, fue confirmado como líder del Partido Laborista y juramentado como primer ministro del Reino Unido, sustituyendo a Keir Starmer, según informó The New York Times. AP News indicó que el rey Carlos III lo invitó formalmente a formar gobierno, convirtiéndolo en el séptimo primer ministro en diez años. En sus primeros días, Burnburn convocó a su gabinete y anunció una reducción del impuesto a la electricidad de £45 al año, medida que AP News señaló se financiará cancelando un plan de identificación digital. También nombró al exsecretario de Defensa John Healey como jefe del Tesoro y advirtió sobre los altos niveles de deuda pública y un objetivo de gasto en defensa costoso, según AP News.

La vicepresidenta del Labour, Lucy Powell, dijo a la BBC que Burnburn perseguirá una agenda más audaz sin abandonar el programa del manifiesto 2024, y CNBC señaló que el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump elogió su política de petróleo del Mar del Norte. Posteriormente, Burnburn presentó el “Number 10 North” con sede en Manchester, una nueva oficina destinada a albergar partes del Ministerio de Hacienda y de vivienda. Al Jazeera informó que los líderes escoceses y galeses cuestionaron la financiación del proyecto y su impacto en la descentralización, expresando preocupaciones políticas al respecto.
