Keir Starmer Reshuffles Cabinet Post Angela Rayner's Resignation

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer reshuffles cabinet after Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner's sudden resignation, appointing David Lammy as her replacement. The move aims to address internal unity and political direction within the Labour Party.

Rayner's departure is seen as a blow to grassroots connections and could impact future election performance. Other key appointments include Yvette Cooper as Home Secretary and Shabana Mahmood as Foreign Secretary.

The reshuffle is described as a moment to refocus and push ahead by a senior government source. This development allows Starmer to inject fresh perspectives into his team amid rising party tensions.
