The British Prime Minister's Office released news on the 20th that the new Prime Minister Andy Burnham formed a new cabinet on the same day. Among the new cabinet members, John Healy was appointed as Secretary of the Treasury. Earlier, he resigned as Minister of Defense because he was dissatisfied with the National Defense Investment Plan funding plan. Wes Strittin became Secretary of Defense. The former Secretary of Health was once seen as a potential prime minister candidate, but eventually gave up running for election as leader of the ruling Labor Party and supported Burnham. Among other key positions, Shebana Mahmoud was appointed Minister of the Interior, Ed Miliband as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yvette Cooper as Minister of Health, and Jonathan Reynolds as Minister of Commerce, Innovation, and Science. Speaking earlier in front of the Prime Minister's Office at 10 Downing Street, Burnham said he would push for “the most significant change in 40 years” and establish “a new political model and a new economic model.” He believes that the new government will strengthen cross-party and local cooperation and devolve more power from the central government to various regions. Stammer resigned as British prime minister earlier that day. Afterwards, Burnham, the new leader of the Labor Party, was authorized by King Charles III to form a new government at Buckingham Palace and officially took office as prime minister.
