Hours after delivering his first speech as UK prime minister on Friday, Keir Starmer revealed the names of his government following Labor’s victory in the previous day’s general election. Eleven of the 25 ministers and other senior office holders in the team are women – a record in the history of British democracy.
Angela Rayner, Labour’s No. 2, has been chosen as deputy prime minister in the new administration. The Stockport (Manchester)-born former unionist, who came to parliament in 2015, also takes up the home portfolio.
For the important role of Chancellor of the Exchequer, Starmer appointed Rachel Reeves, who became the first woman to take on the role of Chancellor of the Exchequer (the official title of the role of Chancellor of the Exchequer). Originally from London and after a career at the Bank of England and the private sector, Reeves was elected as an MP for the first time in 2010.
Notables in the Labor government are Yvette Cooper, elected head of the Home Office (Ministry of the Interior) responsible for immigration and borders, one of the most debated topics in UK politics over the past decade; New Justice Minister Shabana Mahmood; and Lucy Powell, who will be Speaker of the House of Commons, a sort of government spokesperson in the lower house of the British Parliament, with responsibilities for managing and implementing the centre-left party’s legislative agenda.
The list of women in Keir Starmer’s Cabinet Office, who will meet for the first time this Saturday, includes Louise High (Transport), Lisa Nandy (Culture), Bridget Phillipson (Education), Liz Kendall (Labour) and Jo Stevens (Wales). and Angela Smith (Leader of the House of Lords).
