In the government of the new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer there are some ministers with atypical profiles for politicians and women at the most -responsible positions, which illustrates the change that Labor wants to embody, notes France Presse, quoted by BTA
The number two figure in the new government presented yesterday is Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rainer /pictured/, responsible for housing policy. She is 44 years old, comes from a very poor background and left school at 16, which stands out in the British political landscape. Reiner was a social worker and trade unionist before being elected to parliament in 2015, Reuters added.
Former Bank of England economist Rachel Reeves, 45, is well-respected in business circles and is the first woman to be appointed Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer. She says Labor will stick to tight fiscal rules and won't borrow to finance day-to-day running costs, but leaves open the possibility of increasing government borrowing-financed investment in strategic industries.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy, 51, is a descendant of slaves and has been highly critical of Donald Trump in the past. Lamy identified three principles at the basis of
Labour's foreign policy - restoring Britain's links with the world, putting security and prosperity above ideology and transforming
foreign policy so that it works for the benefit of the general public rather than corporations and commercial interests. He describes his approach as "progressive realism".
55-year-old Yvette Cooper, who is the new Home Secretary, held ministerial posts under Prime Minister Tony Blair. In 2015, she unsuccessfully ran for party leader. Cooper has promised more police powers to tackle crime and anti-social behavior and make some changes to the national security framework.
64-year-old John Healey was appointed as the new defense minister. On a visit to Kiev in May, he said a Labor government would stand by Britain's determination to "support Ukraine, oppose Russian aggression and prosecute Putin for his war crimes".
41-year-old Wes Streeting has been appointed as health minister, and among his tasks will be to resolve the situation with the millions of people who are on the NHS treatment waiting list.
54-year-old Ed Miliband, the energy and emissions secretary, led Labor in the 2015 election, which the party lost by an unexpectedly wide margin. Now he will play a leading role in making Britain a green energy superpower.
43-year-old Jonathan Reynolds is the Minister for Business. It promises a closer partnership between Labor and business to deliver an industrial strategy focused on green energy investment and building national resilience to external shocks.
Arriving at 10 Downing Street yesterday, in his first speech as Prime Minister, Starmer, who is a former barrister, pledged to fight day after day to unite the country and so that Britons can believe again in a better future for their children. He pledged to calmly and patiently rebuild the country and promised that it will not be an easy job because it is not enough to push a button to change a country.
Otherwise, the post is retained by Larry the cat, who lives in 10 Downing Street and for whom Starmer is the sixth prime minister. However, Larry will have to live with the Starmer family's 17-year-old cat Jojo, with whom conflicts may arise, writes Sky TG Com. In addition, Larry may also have a thing for Starmer's children's hamster.
