Andy Burnham has been sworn in as the new MP for Makerfield in the House of Commons. The former mayor of Greater Manchester arrived in London's Euston station earlier on Monday and made his way to parliament for the ceremony. Accompanied by Knowsley MP Anneliese Midgley, and Leigh and Atherton’s MP, Jo Platt, Burnham took the oath MPs swear to the crown on a bible. He had earlier confirmed to journalists he would stand to be the next prime minister in any process that was run following Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's resignation on Monday morning. After swearing in, Burnham met with swathes of Labour MPs in parliament, taking selfies and speaking with members, potentially keen for a job in his cabinet. Some prominent faces from Starmer's cabinet past and present were also there, including Rachel Reeves, Angela Rayner, Ed Miliband and Jonathan Reynolds. But what might an Andy Burnham premiership look like - and how would he manage the economy? • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube
