Keir Starmer, the new Prime Minister of Britain, announced his cabinet on Friday, including ministers for Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs, Defense, and Energy, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Housing and Communities.
The Labour Party reclaimed power after 14 years with a decisive victory in the early parliamentary elections in Britain, taking over from the Conservative Party.
With 412 seats out of 650, the Labour Party secured a clear majority in the House of Commons of Britain. In a meeting with Keir Starmer, the British monarch requested him to form his cabinet.
In Starmer’s new cabinet, Angela Rayner was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Housing and Communities. Other appointments include David Lammy as Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper as Home Secretary, John Healey as Defense Secretary, Ed Miliband as Energy Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds as Secretary for Trade and Industry, Peter Kyle as Minister for Science, Innovation, and Technology, Shabana Mahmood as Justice Secretary, Liz Kendall as Minister for Labour and Retirement, Brigid Phillipson as Education Secretary, and Wes Streeting as Health Secretary.
