Key figures for Tuesday's first meeting include Treasury chief John Healey, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband and Defense Secretary Wes Streeting. Burnham replaced Starmer as Labour Party leader, becoming Britain's seventh prime minister since 2016. Burnham comes to office pledging to ease the cost of living and decentralize power. He made a small first step on Tuesday, announcing a tax cut on energy bills that will save households about $60 a year.
