Britain has become addicted to pressing the ‘new PM’ button – and I don’t see how Burnham avoids it | Jonathan Liew

He’s almost certain to become the UK’s seventh leader in a decade. And with the rightwing press and the algorithm against him, he’s basically a meat sacrifice Current state of British democracy: the guy who puts out the resignation lectern in front of No 10 is now so familiar that he has become a meme. On the internet, they call him Hot Podium Guy. William Hague’s old line about the Tory party being “an autocracy moderated by regicide” is now basically true of the country as a whole. And so out

Even sexual assault or paedophilia cases are heard by US courts martial, using an obscure 1951 agreement A US fighter pilot strangled a woman in England. Why did it end in a ‘degrading’ military trial? A little-known system in which US military personnel are tried through a court martial for alleged crimes committed in the UK is under growing scrutiny.

It’s not the bond markets Andy Burnham should be afraid of. It’s his own MPs | Aditya Chakrabortty

To stay popular with the public – and his backbenchers – he’ll need to make big changes fast. That means changing the way the government borrows A Labour leader arrives, shirt and smile ironed into place, in his hands a big idea. He has polished one slogan, prepped three anecdotes, memorised eight bullet points. He wants more cash for vital services, or workers to have a stake in their employers, or to take some utility into public control. Not so big an idea, really, but, right on cue, the atta

The Guardian view on priorities for a new prime minister: foreign policy cannot be an afterthought | Editorial

Keir Starmer came to power without a strategic concept of post-Brexit Britain’s place in the world. His successor must not repeat that mistake Sir Keir Starmer had years in opposition to prepare for government. His likely successor, Andy Burnham, has weeks. Unlike the outgoing prime minister, Mr Burnham will bring past ministerial experience to the top job as well as lessons learned as the mayor of Greater Manchester.
