**Sackings, cabinet surprises and policies: Burnham's first 24 hours as PM**

Andy Burnham has begun his first day as prime minister with a burst of activity that quickly set the tone for his time in Number 10. According to a BBC Politics report, the new leader moved fast on appointments, dismissals and policy signals as he settled into office.

The opening 24 hours were marked by a series of decisions that suggested an administration keen to make an immediate impression. The BBC report says the new prime minister has already overseen sackings and made cabinet choices that have caught attention, alongside early policy moves. The pace of events has underlined how quickly a new government can try to define itself at the start of a premiership.

Burnham’s arrival in Downing Street has not, however, silenced wider political pressure. The BBC says calls for a snap election are continuing, meaning the new prime minister enters office with scrutiny not only over who he appoints, but also over the legitimacy and timing of his mandate. That question is likely to remain a feature of the political debate as the new government gets under way.

The report offers an early snapshot of a premiership in motion, with the first day dominated by the practical and symbolic tasks of taking control. In UK politics, those initial hours often shape public perceptions of authority and direction, and Burnham’s start appears designed to project momentum.
