Andy Burnham has officially become U.K. Prime Minister, taking over from Keir Starmer.
"I will put the care of people at the heart of everything I do. I will give this my all, and I ask you all to pull with me," he said in his first speech. "Let's build a new national sense of unity, of common purpose, and positivity. Let us make this the moment when Britain starts to believe again — the moment we bring back hope."

A very substantive conversation with Denys Prokopenko. Thank you for the consistently well-prepared work and attention to detail. It is important that every adjustment to Ukraine's defense strategy be carefully thought through and verified. We are also working to make the next prisoner exchanges happen. We remember our people. Glory to Ukraine!
The majority in Russia is already taking issue with Putin because there is no end in sight to his war. And all the hardships Russians are facing today should bring them closer to the realization that their war is real, that it's not just "stones falling from the sky,” and that their war must end.
We have no guarantee we'll be happy, we just hope that we will. We hope we'll overcome whatever problems confront us and if we lose hope we despair. Happiness corresponds with peace of mind and a key to that is warm-heartedness. Developing compassion brings courage and self-confidence; warm-heartedness and intelligence bring peace of mind.
“When we have a clear motivation, hard work becomes a source of joy rather than a burden.”-H.H the Dalai Lama.
When purpose is pure, labor no longer feels heavy.
Work becomes practice. Effort becomes meaning.
A steady mind turns even the hardest path into a joyful one.
