The UK’s first TikTok PM? Andy Burnham channels Zohran Mamdani as he hits social media

From Mo Farah to Bus Aunty, new prime minister makes good on promise to ‘do things differently’ when it comes to communication

They say a week is a long time in politics, but handily for followers of Andy Burnham on social media, you can get daily updates of what the new PM has been up to on his timeline.

Before Burnham stepped inside No 10 this week he promised to “do things differently” in British politics. If his feed is anything to go by, he’s already way ahead of his predecessor.
