Former Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham is set to become the United Kingdom's new Prime Minister this Monday, with a commitment to help raise living standards in the country. The Labour leader's agenda will be tested by the country's financial situation and his prior commitments, which limit his room for manoeuvre.

Burnham's policies promise to deliver higher growth in the short and long term. However, the constraints imposed by the economic reality and previous obligations will challenge his ability to implement changes.

In this segment, we see how his approach aims to improve the lives of Britons and whether he can deliver on his promises under these circumstances.
