Sir Keir Starmer‘s new cabinet will meet for the first time on Saturday – the first full day of Labour being in power.
Rachel Reeves is the UK’s first female chancellor, while Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner is also among a record 11 women in the team of 25. Sir Keir appointed his cabinet on Friday after Labour’s landslide election win, and in his first speech as PM said the work of change “begins immediately”.
Speaking at Downing Street, he also promised to restore trust in politics with a “government of service”. The cabinet meeting will focus on what Labour calls its “first steps” which include – among other things – economic stability, cutting NHS waiting lists and tackling illegal immigration. David Lammy has become the foreign secretary while Yvette Cooper is home secretary.
