David Lammy named Deputy Prime Minister in sweeping Labour reshuffle after Rayner quits

Keir Starmer has named David Lammy as Deputy Prime Minister after Angela Rayner quit over a stamp duty issue. Lammy keeps the justice brief. Yvette Cooper moves to Foreign Secretary, Shabana Mahmood to Home Secretary, and Steve Reed takes Housing. Pat McFadden gains a powerful new super-ministry. A deputy leadership election now looms, with the result likely to shape Labour’s direction.
