British Prime Minister Andy Burnham named John Healey as Chancellor of the Exchequer as he formed his new cabinet following his appointment as prime minister after Keir Starmer’s resignation.
Healey’s appointment to the senior economic post is among the first major decisions of Burnham’s premiership, signaling early priorities as the new government takes shape. Additional cabinet appointments are expected to follow as Burnham completes the formation of his top ministerial team.
The new cabinet lineup will be closely watched for signals of policy direction under Burnham’s leadership, particularly on economic matters that will fall under Healey’s remit as Chancellor.
Healey previously held senior roles within the UK’s political establishment, and his appointment is likely to be read as a signal of continuity on fiscal policy as Burnham’s government takes shape.
