This week was a big one for British politics, as Andy Burnham became the country’s new Prime Minister and appointed his new Cabinet hours after making his first speech outside Number 10.
He has plenty of challenges ahead, led by uniting both his party and the country in support for his vision of change.
But it’s more than likely that rival party leaders will shortly start to claim that the new PM has no mandate to hold power and call for a General Election.
Meanwhile, it only took a few hours for a show of dissent on social media from former Labour Cabinet Minister Darren Jones.
That all means that it’s very much in the balance as to how long his premiership will last for. Remember Liz Truss and the lettuce?
Here are the 10 most likely candidates to succeed him according to the bookies.
