Andy Burnham is a British Labour politician who currently serves as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, having previously spent nearly a decade as Mayor of Greater Manchester and, before that, as Member of Parliament for Leigh, where he held several Cabinet posts including Health Secretary and Culture Secretary. As Prime Minister he has overseen a major reshuffle of the UK's technology and science policy apparatus, most notably the dismantling of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the redistribution of its functions across other departments. He appointed Kanishka Narayan as the country's first cabinet-level minister for AI as part of that restructuring, a move that drew criticism from parts of the UK tech industry. He is known within British politics for his long tenure in local and national government roles and his association with the Labour Party's soft-left tradition.
