In a decisive reshuffle, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer revamped his Cabinet, responding to the abrupt resignation of Deputy Angela Rayner over a tax affairs scandal. This reshuffle aims to consolidate his authority and stabilize his leadership following a challenging week.
David Lammy has been appointed as Deputy Prime Minister, shifting from his previous role as Foreign Minister.
