BBC Two — Newsnight, followed by Weather

Andy Burnham became the UK's seventh Prime Minister in a decade after Keir Starmer tendered his resignation. In his first address from Downing Street, Burnham promised a 'circuit breaker' moment for Britain and the biggest changes in 40 years, vowing to end rough sleeping nationwide. His cabinet reshuffle saw familiar figures appointed, including John Healey as Chancellor, Shabana Mahmood remaining as Home Secretary, and Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary, while nine Starmer loyalists were removed from government.

Tomorrow's policy announcement on cost of living support is expected to include a reduction in the bus fare cap and help with energy bills, though a private sector rent freeze has been ruled out for now. The programme also examined Burnham's record on rough sleeping as Mayor of Greater Manchester, where he cut the number by two-thirds before it crept back up, and discussed the potential political risks of his cabinet choices, including the appointment of Louise Haigh as First Secretary of State following her past fraud conviction.
