UK Politics | Andy Burnham Sworn In As MP After UK PM Keir Starmer Announces Resignation

Andy Burnham has been sworn in as the new MP for Makerfield in the House of Commons. The former mayor of Greater Manchester arrived in London's Euston station earlier on Monday and made his way to parliament for the ceremony. Accompanied by Knowsley MP Anneliese Midgley, and Leigh and Atherton’s MP, Jo Platt, Burnham took the oath MPs swear to the crown on a bible. He had earlier confirmed to journalists he would stand to be the next prime minister in any process that was run following Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's resignation on Monday morning.
