Prime Minister Andy Burnham is jetting off on a pre-planned family holiday just two weeks into his premiership, sparking backlash from Reform UK who accuse him of “bunking off” — though Downing Street insists he’ll stay in touch and can return if needed. While some Labour figures question the timing, Justice Secretary Alex Norris defends Burnham, highlighting major early wins on cost of living and social care — even as sentencing reforms draw fresh controversy, with two PC Harper victims’ convicted killers still eligible for early release. Meanwhile, Deputy PM Louise Haigh will be on hand to manage affairs, though she won’t be making daily decisions in Burnham’s absence.
