Speaking outside the door to No 10 Mr Burnham said he would deliver “a new political model and a new economic model” for Britain. Former defence secretary Mr Healey, who quit Sir Keir’s government in a row over funding for the military, was the first new appointment announced by Mr Burnham. Mr Burnham said he would set out a 10-year plan later this year but promised more immediate help to deal with squeezed household finances. Mr Burnham said his approach was about putting the “right values and the right standards” at the heart of government. Mr Burnham swept into Downing Street after being asked to form a government by the King following Sir Keir’s resignation.
