00:00Attention is turning to who could become the country's next Prime Minister after Chancellor Rachel Reeves publicly backed Andy Burnham
00:08for the job.
00:09The Chancellor says Burnham would make a great Prime Minister and has pledged her support, despite reports suggesting he could
00:16move her from the Treasury if he takes over as Labour leader.
00:20Burnham, who recently entered Parliament, is currently the only declared candidate following Sir Keir Starmer's resignation.
00:26Reeves says any future government must stick to existing spending and borrowing rules, arguing that keeping control of the public
00:35finances matters for household budgets, businesses and economic stability for the coming years ahead.
