Burnham’s Bold Cabinet Shuffle | Europe News

Andy Burnham’s bold government reshuffle signals a dramatic reset, clearing out Starmer’s inner circle and installing his own team with major portfolios. John Healey takes the Chancellor’s reins amid defense spending plans, while Ed Miliband steps into foreign affairs and Shabana Mahmood stays as Home Secretary. Miatta Fahnbulleh leads energy and net zero, poised to tackle the cost of living and climate goals — possibly with a VAT cut on electricity. Wes Streeting becomes Defense Secretary, pushing for military modernization. Louise Haigh, Angela Rayner, Lucy Powell, and Jonathan Reynolds return to powerful roles, while Yvette Cooper moves to Health Secretary — a high-stakes post with social care reforms on the horizon. Lisa Nandy expands her digital mandate, and Kanishka Narayan launches as AI Minister. Burnham’s first moves hint at a sweeping agenda — watch how policy and politics evolve in the weeks ahead.
