In the summer of 2026, Andy Burnham assumed the office of Prime Minister with an overwhelming parliamentary mandate, inheriting both the promise and the fractures of a Labour Party long tested by internal conflict. The cabinet he assembled is less a clean slate than a careful reckoning — drawing back figures who had resigned or rebelled, and elevating those whose loyalty was forged in opposition rather than compliance. It is a government that asks whether second chances, honestly given, can become the foundation of lasting change.

Households may benefit from increased council housing supply and potential utility price regulation, but face uncertainty around implementation timelines and fiscal sustainability. Energy and water consumers could see regulatory changes affecting service provision and costs.
