Labour politician Andy Burnham is appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom by King Charles III on the morning of 20 July 2026 following his landslide victory in the Labour leadership election after the resignation of P.M. Keir Starmer.
Burnham was previously Mayor of Greater Manchester before resigning to run for the MP election for Makersfield to challenge Starmer's leadership as the leader of the British Labour Party and ultimately the position of Prime Minister. Burnham wins the election and Starmer later resigns knowing he won't be able to beat him in the leadership election due to Starmer's extreme unpopularity. Burnham's ministry sees the sacking of Deputy PM David Lammy and Chancellor Rachel Reeves following diversity demands and extreme tax hikes respectively as well as hiring the former leader of Labour Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary, who does not know how to eat a sandwich.
Since David Cameron's resignation as Prime Minister in 2016 following Brexit, the UK has overseen 6 different Prime Ministers within ten years:
- Theresa May (C, 2016-2019)
- Boris Johnson (C, 2019-2022)
- Liz Truss (C, 2022)
- Rishi Sunak (C, 2022-2024)
- Keir Starmer (L, 2024-2026)
- Andy Burnham (L, incumbent)
