Andy Burnham, a frontrunner to be the next Labour leader, is preparing to replace Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves but would offer her another cabinet post.

Rupert Thompson, chief economist at Iboss, said that after Starmer resigned this week UK investors are urgently seeking clarity on the incoming leader’s economic policy. Andy Burnham won the Makerfield by-election and was sworn in as an MP on Monday and is widely expected to become the next prime minister. Thompson said the UK economy and markets face a period of uncertainty, with investors concerned about the prospect of further tax increases.
