It’s safe to say the question of who will become the next Prime Minister appears to have been settled.

Barring a contest, Andy Burnham is almost certain to walk through the door of No 10 next month, becoming the first PM in more than 60 years who wasn’t voted in at the previous election.

Attention is now turning to the people who will make up his top team – and his next moves will be critical.

Burnham will need to pick a Cabinet that is fresh enough to mark a clean break from the Starmer era, but experienced enough that it doesn’t mean starting from scratch on the big issues of the day.
