Andy Burnham set to be next UK prime minister and Labour Party leader

Andy Burnham is expected to become the UK's next prime minister.

It comes after the number of Labour MPs backing Mr Burnham to become the party's next leader reached 349.

That means it is now mathematically impossible for any other candidate to win enough support from Labour MPs to challenge him.

Last month, Sir Keir Starmer announced he was stepping down as UK prime minister and leader of the Labour Party, starting the search for his successor.

Mr Burnham is expected to be confirmed as Labour leader at the end of this week and could become prime minister as early as next Monday.

So who is he and what do you need to know? Jenny has been finding out.
