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.

Meanwhile, Deputy PM Louise Haigh will be on hand to manage affairs, though she won’t be making daily decisions in Burnham’s absence.
