Burnham takes holiday two weeks into premiership as opponents split on response

Downing Street said Andy Burnham is on holiday two weeks after entering No 10, and will remain in contact with officials. Reform UK's Lee Anderson said he had "bunked off" after "unfunded commitments". Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch declined to criticise the break but said Parliament should be recalled. Justice Secretary Alex Norris said the PM would stay in constant contact with his office.
