英国财政大臣蕾切尔·里夫斯在接受采访时发出警示，即将接任首相的安迪·伯纳姆将从一开始就面临一系列“冲击和挑战”，并敦促其带着详尽的计划走上唐宁街 [1]。与此同时，前交通大臣路易丝·海格表示，伯纳姆为此已谋划至少一年时间 [1]。
在工党领袖竞选中，伯纳姆目前已获得 322 名议员的支持（该党派共有 403 名议员），距离锁定胜局仅差一人支持 [1]。预计他将于今年 7 月 17 日正式成为工党领袖，并于次日出任首相 [1]。里夫斯同时强调，伯纳姆将继承一个比她两年前接手时更为强劲的经济基础 [1]。
Rachel Reeves has warned Andy Burnham that he should anticipate facing a series of "shocks and challenges" immediately upon taking office at Number 10 [1]. The Chancellor urged the incoming Prime Minister's designate to arrive with detailed plans ready for these initial hurdles [1]. Currently, Mr. Burnham holds the support of 322 Labour MPs out of a total party membership of 403, meaning he needs just one more vote to secure his leadership position and become leader [1]. He is expected to assume the role of Labour Party leader on July 17, with him becoming Prime Minister the following day [1]. Ms. Reeves also emphasized that Mr. Burnham will inherit a stronger economic foundation than she did when she took office two years ago [1]. Meanwhile, former Transport Secretary Louise Haig stated that Mr. Burnham has been planning for this transition for at least a year .
