Burnham to face Parliament as prime minister for first time
Andy Burnham on a visit to a London supermarket last week
Andy Burnham is set to speak in the Commons later, addressing MPs on their first day back at work after the summer recess, in what will be a highly charged moment.
Six weeks after he walked up Downing Street, and 16 years after he last appeared at the dispatch box as part of a Labour government, he will stand before MPs for the first time as prime minister.
In the close confines of the chamber, with ranks of Labour members behind him, Burnham will finally come face to face with his political opponents.
The pressure of the occasion, the scrutiny he will face, the deftness with which he handles questions, the attacks, the barbs, the asides, will all be key to how the public perceive him.
