Rachel Reeves and David Lammy leaving cabinet as new UK PM Andy Burnham to start making key appointments
Live: There had been speculation that Burnham might find another cabinet job for Rachel Reeves, the departing chancellor of the Exchequer, and for David Lammy who was deputy prime minister and justice secretary. Instead both are leaving the cabinet, suggesting that a significant clear out is underway, and that the new prime minister’s top team will look very different.
Live: David Lammy, who was Starmer's deputy prime minister and previously foreign secretary, is leaving the cabinet. “I would have been proud to continue serving in Cabinet. But a new Prime Minister is entitled to build his own team, and I wish @andyburnham and the new Cabinet every success,” he wrote on social media.
