英国新首相Andy Burnham于周一入驻唐宁街10号后，在忙碌的首周内推出多项经济措施，并将权力下放政策付诸行动[1]。他在曼彻斯特设立首相办公室分部，距伦敦165英里（265公里），计划每周至少在此工作一天[1]。
Burnham上台初期的经济政策包括电费减税、设定2英镑（2.70美元）的公交车费上限以及酒吧税收优惠[1]。这些措施旨在缓解英国民众的生活成本压力。
在外交方面，Burnham面临多重挑战。伊朗指控英国在美国对伊朗的"侵略"中"共谋"，并警告称可能面临"后果和报复"[1]。对此，英国防部声明表示"英国已准备好全天候24/7保卫自己"[1]。
同时，Burnham向乌克兰总统Zelenskyy保证英国的支持"坚定不移"[1]。在处理格陵兰问题上，他告诉丹麦首相Frederiksen，格陵兰的未来"应只由格陵兰和丹麦人民决定"[1]。
Andy Burnham moved into 10 Downing Street on Monday as Britain's new prime minister [1], immediately launching an ambitious agenda that includes establishing a part-time office base outside the capital. The Manchester office, located 165 miles (265 kilometers) from London, will serve as a hub for Burnham's devolution agenda, with the prime minister pledging to work there at least one day per week [1].
Burnham's first week has been marked by sweeping economic measures designed to support households and businesses. The government has introduced electricity tax cuts, capped bus fares at 2 pounds (2.70 dollars), and offered tax relief for pubs [1].
Internationally, Burnham's early days have been dominated by diplomatic challenges. Iran has accused the UK of "complicity" in American aggression against Iran and warned of potential "consequences and retaliation" over Britain's decision to allow American military use of its bases [1]. In response, the UK Ministry of Defence stated that "Britain stands ready to defend itself 24/7 around the clock" [1].
Burnham has also made security commitments abroad, assuring Ukrainian President Zelenskyy of Britain's "unwavering" support [1]. He told Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen that Greenland's future "should be decided only by Greenlanders and the Danish people" [1].
