The coverage broadly agrees that Shabana Mahmood is expected to be named to a key financial role by Andy Burnham. However, there are differences in the specific title mentioned, with left-leaning outlets like Guardian Politics and Novara Media referring to her as 'chancellor', while The Independent describes her as 'economic advisor'. Centre-leaning outlets like City AM and FT UK also refer to her as 'Chancellor' or 'Finance Minister', with a neutral tone. The focus and tone of the coverage vary slightly across outlets, but all report on the expected appointment.
