A government ends and a new government begins, determined to make a splash with its early policy announcements. Andy Burnham has started his first full day in the job with a promise to cut VAT from household electricity bills from 1 October. We can expect to see and hear plenty from the new prime minister and his senior ministers in the coming days, making arguments, travelling the country and trying to make an impact. At gone 22:00 BST on Monday night, there was still a minibus full of ministerial wannabes inside Downing Street waiting for their new positions to be confirmed. The story of the reshuffle can best be summarised as neither of the two ministers most widely talked up as chancellor - Shabana Mahmood and Ed Miliband - getting that job, it instead going to John Healey.
