İngiltere'de 2016'dan Beri Altıncı Başbakan: Andy Burnham Görevi Devralıyor

Summary · AI generated

Andy Burnham Pazartesi günü İngiltere başbakanı olarak göreve başlıyor ve 2016'dan bu yana bu göreve gelen altıncı isim oluyor. Selefi Keir Starmer, yalnızca iki yıl önce İşçi Partisi'ni 14 yıllık Muhafazakâr iktidarın ardından ezici bir seçim zaferine taşımış ancak hızla popülaritesini yitirmişti. Burnham, partisinin kısa sürede azalan desteğiyle yüzleşirken, ekonomik zorluklar ve siyasi parçalanmışlık gibi ağır bir gündemle mücadele etmek zorunda. Yeni liderin önünde, enerji krizi, hayat pahalılığı ve seçmen memnuniyetsizliği gibi çözülmeyi bekleyen sorunlar bulunuyor. Starmer'ın düşüşü, İşçi Partisi içindeki huzursuzluğu ve ülke genelindeki hayal kırıklığını yansıtıyor. Burnham'ın sınırlı bir zaman diliminde hem partiyi toparlaması hem de kamuoyunun güvenini yeniden inşa etmesi gerekiyor. İngiltere'de 2016 Brexit referandumundan bu yana yaşanan sık başbakan değişiklikleri, siyasi istikrarsızlığın yerleşik hale geldiğini gösteriyor. Burnham'ın liderliği, iç bölünmeleri aşma ve ekonomik darboğaza karşı etkili adımlar atma kapasitesiyle sınanacak.

    Andy Burnham set to take over as new British PM

    London, United Kingdom

    Andy Burnham will on Monday become Britain’s sixth prime minister to move into Downing Street since 2016, with an in-tray overflowing with challenges and little time to make his mark. The new leader takes over from the unpopular Keir Starmer just two years after the outgoing prime minister led Labour party to power in a landslide election victory after 14 years of Conservative rule. After being asked by King Charles III to form the next government, Burnham, 56, is due to make his first speech Monday outside 10 Downing Street shortly after Starmer has said his farewells. In an interview with The Times published late on Sunday, Burnham set out his ambition for change, saying he wanted to draw a line under a decade of political turmoil. “What we’ve been doing hasn’t been working. That’s the way I see it,” he said. “I am going to try and do things in a different way.” In his first speech, he will acknowledge he feels “acutely conscious” of the need for a more stable brand of politics, as he becomes the sixth new prime minister in the last 10 years. Burnham will set out “priorities for restoring confidence in government and giving Britain more breathing room” amid the cost-of-living crisis, his team said. Delivering growth and devolving power to regional communities are also expected to feature in his speech. An announcement on his senior cabinet appointments was also expected on Monday with all eyes on who will replace Rachel Reeves as finance minister. The former mayor of Greater Manchester, nicknamed the “King of the North”, has been parachuted in by the Labour Party, after Starmer resigned last month, with MPs viewing him as the party’s best chance of reining in Nigel Farage’s anti-immigration Reform UK party. ‘Bigger, bolder’ Deputy Labour Party leader Lucy Powell said Sunday Burnham’s mayoral experience away from the London centre of government meant he understood the “bigger, bolder measures” needed to deliver on Labour’s election manifesto promises. Among Burnham’s most urgent challenges will be a tepid economy, high government borrowing costs, a ballooning welfare bill and irregular migrants arriving in small boats that have fuelled support for Reform. Unpredictable energy prices due to the US-Iran war and a volatile American president in Donald Trump also threaten to buffet his premiership. Burnham told The Times he would take a “different approach to public spending, and to running the economy — more focused on early investment, early intervention, setting people up for success, and much less paying for failure.” He promised “early moves to help” with the cost of living, saying that while campaigning he heard the “pressure people feel around their finances”. Starmer announced that he would resign as prime minister and Labour Party leader in late June after a string of scandals, missteps and policy U-turns blighted his leadership. But Burnham, who only returned as a member of parliament four weeks ago, has little room to manoeuvre amid sluggish economic growth, high public debt and strict financial rules requiring him to balance government spending against tax revenue. Monday’s handover will begin with Starmer visiting Buckingham Palace to formally tender his resignation to the king before making a brief statement outside 10 Downing Street. Burnham will then make his own trip to Buckingham Palace, before his first speech as prime minister which will be a moment of “reflection and resolution”, he will say, stressing Britain must be honest about the challenges it faces. ‘Last chance’ Burnham was an MP between 2001 and 2017, serving as a minister for the governments of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. He has since reinvented himself as a man of the people, melding a relaxed, folksy style with slick social media videos. But he has only three years to turn things around, with Reform tipped in polls to win the next general election expected in 2029. Burnham told supporters on Friday his Labour takeover was the “last chance” for the party to get things right. Critics have accused Starmer’s government of being under-prepared for power when he was elected in July 2024. Burnham has insisted he has a “plan”. But his swift “coronation” as Labour leader has raised questions on how he will achieve his aims. His first policy announcement came on Saturday when he scrapped Starmer’s flagship nationwide digital ID scheme, estimated to cost £1.8 billion over three years. A spokesperson said the time and resources would be diverted “to where it’s most needed, such as helping with the cost of living”.

    Burnham becomes UK prime minister after meeting king

    London, United Kingdom

    Britain’s King Charles III on Monday appointed Andy Burnham as prime minister after outgoing Keir Starmer officially tendered his resignation, the palace said. “Andrew Burnham MP accepted The King’s offer and kissed hands upon his appointment as Prime Minister,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement, adding the king had asked him to form the next government.

    Andy Burnham becomes UK PM, says Britain needs to 'regain stability'

    London, United Kingdom

    Britain’s King Charles III on Monday appointed Andy Burnham as prime minister after outgoing Keir Starmer officially tendered his resignation, the palace said. “Andrew Burnham MP accepted The King’s offer and kissed hands upon his appointment as Prime Minister,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement, adding the king had asked him to form the next government. Delivering his first speech, Burnham promised to set out new measures to help with the cost of living this week before setting out a new 10-year plan for the country later this year. “Britain needs to show the world that we can regain our stability once again,” Burnham said outside 10 Downing Street. “We have not been good enough, and we need to be better.” BBC reported that a large crowd of supporters erupted into applause as Burnham stepped onto Downing Street for his speech. Burnham became Britain’s sixth prime minister to move into Downing Street in 10 years, with an in-tray overflowing with challenges and little time to make his mark.

The United Kingdom and the European Union are stronger together,” he added. ‘Bigger, bolder’ Deputy Labour Party leader Lucy Powell said on Sunday that Burnham’s mayoral experience away from the London centre of government meant he understood the “bigger, bolder measures” needed to deliver on Labour’s election manifesto promises.

    Tuesday briefing: Inside Andy Burnham’s first day

    London, United Kingdom

    In today’s newsletter: As the new prime minister enters No 10, our journalists take you through what it was like covering his first hours in power Good morning, and let’s abandon all conditional tenses because finally Andy Burnham is UK prime minister and, on a day of ceremony and celebration, he pledged his government would be “a circuit breaker for Britain”. A defining characteristic of Team Burnham thus far has been the concentrated silence at its heart – a vacuum filled by increasingly frenzied speculation in recent days about his cabinet picks and policy priorities. As the black box finally cracked open on Monday, with his first instruction as prime minister – to end rough sleeping – and his surprise choice of chancellor, I was at the Guardian’s head office in London, speaking to editors and correspondents covering the early hours of Burnham’s premiership about what they might reveal for the country. UK news | A 28-year-old man from Rotherham has been charged with the murder of the former MP and Reform UK party spokesperson Ann Widdecombe. Technology | Cases of predators coercing children into harming themselves or producing sexual photos and videos of themselves have surged globally in the past year, child safety experts and law enforcement officials warn. Iran | Nearly 100 US service members have been injured over the last two weeks of escalating strikes on Iran, the Pentagon has said, as Tehran launched a wave of reprisals to the tenth consecutive night of attacks. Ryanair | The airline has reassured travellers that its planes are safe after a passenger was almost sucked out of a window mid-flight this month, and have reported strong summer bookings after a profits slump. UK politics | Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin, has complained that the standards system investigating Nigel Farage over undeclared gifts is a “kangaroo court” and that “the media, the British state and the old parties have mounted a vicious and desperate campaign to stop Reform UK”.
