Andy Burnham has made his first appearance in the House of Commons as Britain's new prime minister after spending his first six weeks in office touring the country, visiting Ukraine and announcing policies that have helped Labour regain a poll lead. He now faces the challenge of explaining his plans for government in greater detail, with a 10-year plan and the autumn budget expected to provide a clearer picture. Burnham also faces pressure from the opposition, disgruntled Keir Starmer loyalists and rising government borrowing costs. Al Jazeera's Rory Challands reports from Westminster.
