Starmer Government Reshuffle After Rayner Resignation

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a reshuffle of his government following the resignation of Deputy Leader and Housing Secretary, Angela Rayner. Rayner resigned due to an error in a tax payment.

New Appointments:

• David Lammy: Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary.
• Yvette Cooper: Foreign Secretary (moved from Home Office).
• Shabana Mahmood: Home Secretary (previously Justice Secretary).

Rachel Reeves remains as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Other new members were appointed to various ministries.

The reshuffle aims to strengthen the government's stability and professionalism. The opposition criticized the move, while analysts noted the historic female representation in top ministries.
