Critics are questioning Andy Burnham's first major pledge as UK Prime Minister.
Burnham has become Britain's seventh Prime Minister in a decade.
His first announcement was committing an extra £340 million over three years to tackle homelessness.

She says critics are asking if he couldn't solve homelessness as Manchester Mayor, how he'll tackle it across the entire UK.
