Teenage TikTok creators granted Downing Street access by Burnham within days of taking office

The BBC reported that five TikTok creators aged 17 to 19 filmed content with Prime Minister Andy Burnham outside 10 Downing Street, days after he entered office on 20 July 2026. The unpaid activists retain editorial freedom but were given direct access and footage by Burnham's team. No 10 first hosted influencers under Starmer in July 2025; Burnham's team has intensified the approach.
