UK faces leadership change, heat deaths, and new laws
What it means
Andy Burnham will become prime minister Monday after Keir Starmer resigned. Parliament passed the Hillsborough Law and a social media ban for under-16s. Extreme heat killed 2,700 people in two months.
Why it matters
The leadership shift signals possible policy changes on wealth tax and devolution. The Hillsborough Law creates a legal duty of candour for officials. Heatwave deaths highlight systemic unpreparedness for climate change.
How it affects you
Your energy bills may be affected by British Steel nationalisation. Social media access for under-16s will be restricted. Job ads must soon disclose salaries. Workplace temperature limits are being considered.
