Andy Burnham plans to keep Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary

Reports emerged today that Andy Burnham intends to keep Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary if he becomes Prime Minister.

While some Labour party allies are pushing for Mahmood to take over as Chancellor, she reportedly prefers to stay in her current post to finish ongoing immigration reforms. This move signals a desire for cabinet continuity and stability as Burnham prepares for a potential leadership bid. Critics argue that retaining Mahmood would represent 'more of the same' failed migration policies rather than a needed radical shift.

Political observers are now watching for further signs of a shadow cabinet reshuffle as Burnham solidifies his internal support within the party.
