UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer reshuffled his cabinet after Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner resigned for underpaying property tax. David Lammy, formerly Foreign Secretary, is now Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister. Yvette Cooper moves from Home Secretary to Foreign Secretary, while Shabana Mahmood becomes Home Secretary, handling issues like illegal migration. Rayner also stepped down as Housing Minister and Labour’s Deputy Leader, admitting she failed to seek proper tax advice. Starmer said he was “very sad” about her resignation but called her an important figure in the party. The reshuffle also included changes in environment, business, housing, and pensions departments.
