Andy Burnham is set to announce new support to help people with the cost-of-living crisis and will chair his first Cabinet meeting after he took office as Prime Minister.
The new premier promised to provide early "breathing space" for households struggling with the cost of living as he stood on the steps of No 10, pledging to set out details on Tuesday.
In his first address to the nation as Prime Minister, Mr Burnham pledged the biggest change to British politics in 40 years, and said he would deliver "a new political model and a new economic model" for Britain.
On Monday evening, he made sweeping changes to the Cabinet, starting with the appointment of John Healey as the new Chancellor to succeed Rachel Reeves.
A swathe of major figures from Sir Keir Starmer's era joined Ms Reeves in leaving Government, including ex-deputy prime minister David Lammy, former attorney general Lord Hermer and former housing secretary Steve Reed.
Their replacements in senior Government roles were announced throughout Monday evening and will join Mr Burnham around the Downing Street Cabinet Room table on Tuesday.
Louise Haigh, a key ally of Mr Burnham who was instrumental in getting him into No 10, was made First Secretary of State and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, giving her a role as a fixer across government.
Ed Miliband was appointed Foreign Secretary, and Shabana Mahmood remains as Home Secretary, while Wes Streeting became the new Defence Secretary, and Angela Rayner returned to Government as Housing Secretary.
Once the dust had settled, it became clear that Mr Burnham had chosen not to appoint a new deputy prime minister, a post previously held by Ms Rayner and Mr Lammy.
