Critics are questioning Andy Burnham's first major pledge as UK Prime Minister.
Burnham has become Britain's seventh Prime Minister in a decade.
His first announcement was committing an extra £340 million over three years to tackle homelessness.
Financial Times Whitehall Editor Lucy Fisher told Ryan Bridge questions are already being raised over how he'll fund his wider agenda as he hints at possible tax changes.
She says critics are asking if he couldn't solve homelessness as Manchester Mayor, how he'll tackle it across the entire UK.
