The first 100 days will reveal what kind of Prime Minister Andy Burnham will be.

These early choices and actions will set the direction for years to come.

Oxfam’s 5 tests for the first 100 days:

Test 1 – Fix the economy so it works for everyone, not just those at the top
Introduce a UK wealth tax.

Test 2 – Demonstrate leadership on the global stage
Restore the UK aid budget to 0.7% of Gross National Income and commit to upholding the UK’s obligations under international law.

Test 3 – Let local people lead
Increase the share of UK aid going to local organisations.

Test 4 – Tackle the climate crisis for people and planet
Make polluters pay through stronger taxation on fossil fuel companies

Test 5 – End the politics of division and build hope
Stand up for all communities and demonstrate that the UK’s strength is its diversity.

There is obviously more detail to each of these tests - and we've written this handy blog to cover all the details of what we expect of the new PM.

Petitions are an important way to show how many people care about an issue. This is one powerful tactic to put pressure on decision makers. Whether by getting media attention, supporting our public campaigning activity, or helping us to show MPs and the government that there is public demand to make certain changes. The louder we raise our collective voice, the harder we are to ignore.

Join us and sign our petition to Andy Burnham to demand strong leadership for a fairer and more just world.
