Britain's getting a new Prime Minister.
It's seventh since 2016. Andy Burnham has [music] replaced Keir Starmer as
leader of the Labour Party and he's about to succeed him as leader of the
country becoming the [music] newest resident of 10 Downing Street. There's
no need for an election in Britain.
Governing parties can change their leaders [music] in mid-term without the need to seek a new mandate from voters.
It's only been 2 years since Labour took power in a landslide under Starmer, but things went [music] downhill fast.
Starmer made a series of missteps. He was forced into policy U-turns and the party quickly lost popularity.
earlier this [music] year Labour took the new clear option forcing him to resign.
Burnham's rise to the top has been even quicker. Six weeks ago [music] he wasn't even a member of Parliament.
He was the mayor of Greater Manchester, but he won a special election for a seat in the House of Commons and he declared [music] that he would run in a leadership contest to replace Starmer.
In the end there wasn't even a contest. Burnham had [music] so much momentum that no one ran against him.
Burnham takes office with huge support from the Labour Party, but also carrying huge expectations.
And he has to convince the skeptical British public that he can make people's lives better.
[music] We may get some sense about how he plans to do that when he makes his first speech as Prime Minister in Downing Street on Monday afternoon.
