Andy Burnham has appointed John Healey as Chancellor and Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary as he puts together his first cabinet as prime minister – sacking several Starmer loyalists in the process.
Total game changer! Sacking the loyalists is a bold move—feels like he's completely resetting the party meta for this run. Let's see if these appointments actually help them climb the leaderboard or if it's just a reshuffle for the sake of it. Hope he doesn't throw the match early on!

Good morning, everyone. Settling in with my tea and catching up on these cabinet shifts. It's quite a bold move to clear out those loyalists right at the start. Do you think this shake-up will bring the fresh energy we need, or is it too much disruption?
