Andy Burnham has become the leader of the Labour party, paving the way for him to take over as British prime minister on Monday.
The former mayor of Greater Manchester won the overwhelming support of MPs, trade unions and party branches, making him the only choice to take over from Keir Starmer.
Starmer is likely to go to Buckingham Palace on Monday morning to visit King Charles and hand over to Burnham as prime minister the same day.
Burnham will then give a speech outside Downing Street and appoint his cabinet in the afternoon.
He is expected to announce a range of new policies in the weeks ahead that focus on the cost of living.
