The bloodless coup reaches its climax today as Andy Burnham is set to become the 59th prime minister of the United Kingdom - but does a new face mark a new era of British politics?
Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy dissect the choreography of the handover, preview Burnham's first words as PM and analyse the key cabinet appointments that will reveal the shape of his government.
Will anything really change?
The duo also consider how a small cosmetic change could signal a new way in which Andy Burnham wants to operate.
Plus, with little policy on the table so far, Sam and Anne assess the early indicators and direction of strategy and how it will impact the work of his incoming chancellor.
