The papers on Friday have several reports on Andy Burnham, each focusing on different aspects of his first week in the top job. The Times says the new prime minister is “eager to get drilling in the North Sea”, and is ready to “move quickly” to scale up oil and gas production as part of his “cost-of-living policy blitz”. Sources told the paper that Burnham and his energy secretary, Miatta Fahnbulleh, are considering whether to give the green light to drilling in Rosebank, which it says is the “biggest undeveloped oil and gasfield in the UK”.
