Vance said rapid turnover—six prime ministers in recent years—signals that British politics is "very broken" and that voters want "significant structural change," expressing hope that Andy Burnham, the sole candidate to replace Keir Starmer after he announced his resignation last month, will "get Britain back on track." Burnham is widely expected to become the seventh prime minister in a decade. Vance stressed the U.S.–U.K. relationship would remain close, while Trump has called Burnham "extremely liberal" and questioned his support for North Sea oil and gas.
