Burnham Weighs Crucial Chancellor Appointment. Andy Burnham is expected to become the UK's next prime minister after securing enough support to become Labour leader. Attention is now turning to who Burnham will appoint as chancellor, a decision seen as crucial for both financial markets and his incoming government. No official announcement is expected until Burnham takes office on Monday. His team insists no final decision has been made, although discussions are reportedly taking place among a small group of senior advisers. James Purnell, Louise Haigh and former MP Josh Simons are said to be involved in planning the new administration. Ed Miliband has been widely tipped as a leading contender for the Treasury, although other senior Labour figures remain in the frame for the role.
