Starmer Shakes Up Top Team After Deputy Rayner Quits
Rayner’s exit is a blow to Labour’s left-wing base. She was replaced by Foreign Minister David Lammy, while Yvette Cooper takes over Lammy’s diplomatic role. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood now heads the Home Office, tasked with tackling the small boats immigration crisis—a key issue fueling support for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.
Starmer’s reshuffle also saw changes in environment, business, and science portfolios, with two ministers sacked. Analysts say this is a desperate attempt to regain control amid economic woes and policy U-turns.
Quote from Rayner:
“I deeply regret my decision not to seek additional specialist tax advice.”
