Andy Burnham Becomes Britain's Seventh Prime Minister in a Decade

Andy Burnham, the former Greater Manchester mayor nicknamed the 'King of the North,' was formally appointed as the United Kingdom's prime minister, the seventh person to hold the office in a decade. His rise underscores the deep political instability that has gripped Britain since Brexit and successive leadership crises. President Trump said an early call with Burnham went well and pledged continued U.S. support, signaling both governments want to keep the transatlantic alliance steady.
