Major UK Cabinet Shake-Up After Rayner Resignation
Posted on Sep 06, 2025 / World
A dramatic political reshuffle unfolded in the UK after Angela Rayner resigned from her government posts and her role as Deputy Labour Leader amid an ethics probe over an underpaid £40,000 stamp duty claim. Prime Minister Keir Starmer launched a sweeping cabinet overhaul, appointing David Lammy as Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, while Yvette Cooper moved into the Foreign Secretary role. Shabana Mahmood took over as Home Secretary, and other key roles were shuffled, including appointments for Housing, Business, Science, Environment, and Scotland Secretaries. The shake-up exposed growing tensions within Labour and fueled speculation of internal vulnerability just ahead of forthcoming policy battles. Reform UK’s Nigel Farage seized the moment to push harder migration policies at the party’s conference, further spotlighting Labour’s internal fractures.
