On the 24th, The Guardian reported that Darren Jones, who withdrew from the party leadership race, stated that the next Chancellor must be familiar with the workings of the Treasury, able to work closely with the Prime Minister, and provide credibility to MPs, businesses, and financial markets. Streeting's main experience is centered on health policy and internal party politics, with no history of serving as a Treasury minister; in contrast, Cooper has held a position in the Treasury, and Miliband has joined Burnham's economic prep team.

Today, The Times reported that Ed Miliband is taking on a key economic policy role in Andy Burnham's prep team, along with Wes Streeting and Shabana Mahmood, as the main candidates for Chancellor of the Exchequer. Miliband, not only a long-time ally of Burnham, has also been involved in designing the new government's economic direction; Streeting may be placed in other senior positions like Foreign Secretary. If Burnham wishes for the person in charge of policy design to directly oversee the Treasury, Miliband's current level of involvement is significantly higher compared to Streeting.
