New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has promised to set out a 10-year-plan for Britain, to ease the cost of living crisis and outlined policy goals including an end to sleeping on the streets.

Accompanied by his wife Marie-France van Heel, Burnham earlier met King Charles III at Buckingham Palace to officially become the head of government after his predecessor Keir Starmer resigned.

Burnham, 56, arrived at Downing Street to resounding applause from supporters, acknowledging he was the country's seventh prime minister since the start of 2016.
