U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer told his new Cabinet to change gears and deliver for the British people as he seeks to fend off the rise of Nigel Farage¡¯s populist insurgent Reform U.K. Party.
The prime minister spent the weekend completing a wide-ranging reshuffle of his government, appointing more than four dozen junior ministers after overhauling his Cabinet on Friday. In a clear sign that immigration and the economy are two primary areas of focus, he revamped his Home Office team just days after appointing new economic advisers.
¡°What Keir Starmer has done is put a new team in place and said to us all, you¡¯ve got to go up a gear,¡± Defense Secretary John Healey, one of the most senior ministers to retain their post, told Sky News on Sunday. ¡°We¡¯ve got to start to show that we can help change people¡¯s lives, make them better off and make them more secure. That is the challenge for each and every one of us now.¡±
