David Lammy named UK deputy prime minister amid Labour Party turmoil

UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner resigned after a tax scandal, triggering a cabinet reshuffle. Foreign Minister David Lammy replaced her, also taking on the Justice Secretary role. Yvette Cooper became the new Foreign Secretary, and Shabana Mahmood the Home Secretary. Rayner's departure, seen as a blow to Labour's left wing, has left the party trailing in polls behind Nigel Farage's Reform UK. The reshuffle also saw the departure of House of Commons leader Lucy Powell and Scotland secretary Ian Murray.
