Andy Burnham is expected to assume the role of Prime Minister on Monday, July 20, following his securing of 94 percent of the Labour parliamentary party's support. This transition means Burnham will take leadership of Downing Street without undergoing a vote from the wider Labour membership.
The Morning Poll has raised the question of whether Burnham can unite the country during his premiership. The results of the poll are anticipated to be published in tomorrow's Morning Mail newsletter. The report was published on July 16, 2026.
