[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Is this the best day of my life?

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

From a casual jog with Olympian Mo Farah to putting in a shift with TikTok queen bus aunty, Andy Burnham seems to have a knack for social media savviness.

Political messaging used to mean podiums and press conferences, but now internet vibes and ‘aura farming’ appear to be just as crucial.

But does Burnham come across as charismatic and cool without trying too hard?

"Be yourself, Andy..."

Former Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock tells @MattChorley his advice for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, a man he has known "since the beginning of the century".

'He knows who he is and he's clear on what he wants to do.'

@AndrewMarr9 thinks Andy Burnham has 'found himself' after revealing he struggled with 'imposter syndrome' during his time in Gordon Brown's Cabinet.

[Labour Housing Group @LabourHousing]

Today marks an exciting new chapter for the United Kingdom. Labour Housing Group looks forward to working with the new government to shape its progressive and ambitious housing agenda.

The UK has had 58 Prime Ministers, but surprisingly few have been from the North https://t.co/rCGusGQHTj

Britain 'set for bumper year' for butterflies https://t.co/KnVo6zfw6g

🚨🇬🇧 NEW: Andy Burnham has spoken to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this evening

The two spoke about the “signal of intent” of the appointment of John Healey and the situation in Ukraine

[Renters' Reform Coalition @RentersReformCo]

Great that @andyburnham is considering freezing rents. This is a simple and effective measure to help renters stay in our homes. It would reduce homelessness, save tenants money and bring down government costs.

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

Today, the new Prime Minister set out his intention to reform social care in England. Carers Trust and 5 million carers across the country wish him well on this road that many have tried to travel before, with or without lecterns.

As we look ahead to the Casey Commission's initial reporting later this summer, we hope that the stars could be aligning for social care and carers alike...

[CitizensAdvice @CitizensAdvice]

Andy Burnham has made his first speech as Prime Minister, and will be announcing his cost-of-living plans tomorrow.

At Citizens Advice, we believe it's time for the government to #TurnTheTide on the biggest drains on people's budgets - energy, housing and debt.

[Ste Carruthers ✌ @Wigan_Steven]

Lived in Greater Manchester all my life and it’s properly exciting to see Andy Burnham as PM. He’s made loads of positive changes in GM in the last few years, mainly the Bee Network but he’s also helped friends with day to day things. Hopefully he can pull it off. #AndyBurnham

[Richard Parker @RichParkerLab]

Congratulations to @andyburnham.

I've worked with Andy for years. He gets places like the West Midlands, because he's spent his career standing in places like it, not looking down at them from Westminster.

He's spent years arguing for regions like ours to have more control over our own money, transport and housing. Now he's in a position to deliver it. So, I’m looking forward to continuing that work together. Lower bills. More jobs. More council homes, built faster.

Let's get on with it.

[Steve Rotheram @MetroMayorSteve]

Life has a funny way of coming full circle.

A lot has changed in the 10 years since @andyburnham and I met for that pint.

But I am optimistic that my mate - sorry our Prime Minister - can reconnect politics with people.

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

A very warm welcome to Downing Street, Prime Minister @andyburnham.
