Andy Burnham has initiated a significant reshuffle of the cabinet, resulting in the removal or demotion of more than half of the ministers who served under the outgoing prime minister. The move marks one of Burnham's first major administrative actions following his transition into the leadership role.
The reshuffle has prompted criticism from allies of former Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who have characterized the changes as a potential act of retribution. These supporters have expressed concern that the scale of the cabinet turnover contradicts Burnham’s stated commitment to ending factional infighting within the party.
