Robert Jenrick has urged Andy Burnham to keep Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary as the new Prime Minister decides his first Cabinet.

Reports suggest Ms. Mahmood is set to replace Rachel Reeves as Chancellor.

Speaking to GB News, Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson said removing Mahmood from her existing role would show Burnham is “going to water down the immigration reforms that she was pursuing.”

He said: “I like Shabana… If she leaves the Home Office, without question, it means that Andy Burnham is going to water down the immigration reforms that she was pursuing, which were trying to stop the Boris wave from making a permanent life here in the UK. And that should concern us.”

Jenrick added: “She herself does not want this job. She has tried to avoid taking on this job as chancellor. She doesn’t say things about the economy and when the country’s in such a mess as it is right now, you want someone who’s got a very clear plan.”

Sadiq Khan has told GB News he has no plans to be involved in Andy Burnham’s government, saying: “I’ve got the best job in the world.”

The Mayor Of London is set to receive a peerage from Sir Keir Starmer as part of the outgoing Prime Minister’s honour’s list.

Speaking to GB News’ Political Editor Chris Hope on The People’s Channel, Sadiq Khan shut down suggestions he would be a minister in Burnham’s government, saying: “One of the advantages of being in the House of Lords is access to ministers so we can lobby for the resources, the investment that we desperately need.”

Nigel Farage has called for a general election now that Andy Burnham has become the Prime Minister.

Labour’s MP for Makerfield began life as the PM on Monday, recruiting his new Cabinet late into the night.

Speaking to reporters, the Reform UK leader said: “The Prime Minister says he’s going to make the biggest change to politics in Britain in 40 years. Hang on. This government wasn’t elected on that back in 2024.

“This is the most fundamental change we’ve seen from a new prime minister. But this guy has not been elected. He has no mandate to do this. He’s got to go to the country.”
