Burnham says he is ‘finalising’ cabinet ahead of becoming PM on Monday

In an earlier speech after becoming party leader, the former mayor of Greater Manchester outlined his vision for government including reforms to the social care system.

Social care is devolved, meaning any reforms Burnham will look to implement will only apply to England.

Andy Burnham said he had still not decided who will be in his cabinet ahead of him taking over from Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister on Monday.
