British Deputy Prime Minister Resigns Amid Tax Scandal, Cameron Makes Major Changes to Cabinet Members
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was forced to reshuffle the Labour government after Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner suddenly resigned over tax issues. Rayner resigned from her positions as Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Labour Leader on Friday, leading Starmer to push forward with a cabinet reshuffle. Rayner's departure has plunged Downing Street into even greater chaos, as Starmer had hoped to start the "second phase" of his government this week to reverse the internal discord and declining poll numbers. According to sources, Starmer subsequently made adjustments to several key cabinet positions, with Yvette Cooper moving from Home Secretary to Foreign Secretary. Meanwhile, Shabana Mahmood is expected to take over as Home Secretary from Justice Secretary.
