Confirmed Louise Haigh as CDL AND First Secretary of State • • And Shabana Mahmood MP remains as Home Secretary
Live: Louise Haigh set for cabinet return
Louise Haigh to be appointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster AND first secretary of state. • • It's the right hand man/woman position previously held by figures like George Osborne, William Hague, and John Prescott. She will be the first woman to hold the role since her political hero Barbara Castle. • • She will run a beefed up Office of the Prime Minister/Cabinet Office for Andy Burnham.
I'm hearing that Louise Haigh, Andy Burnham's right hand woman, will be Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, running a beefed up cabinet office that will be the "political engine room" driving the PM's agenda. • • She will *also* be first secretary of state, a role held in previous govt by George Osborne, William Hague & Pater Mandelson. The last & only woman to hold the role was Barbara Castle, who Haigh has said in the past is her political hero.
