Burnham, who is set to take the job at a conference on Friday, will promise to give back control to communities and spread growth
AI Summary
Andy Burnham is retaining many of Keir Starmer’s top No 10 advisers, including the national security adviser and business adviser, while bringing in new hires like James Purnell as chief of staff. The continuity in key roles suggests that next week’s policy announcements on energy, water, and cost of living may lack the radicalism some had hoped for.
