Keir Starmer holds first Labour cabinet meeting as UK prime minister

Following the election win, Keir Starmer has taken office and made several key appointments. Notably, Rachel Reeves became the UK's first female Finance Minister, a record 11 women were appointed to cabinet positions, and Lucy Powell was named Leader of the House of Commons. David Lammy was appointed Foreign Secretary. Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak, the outgoing Prime Minister, published his dissolution honors list before the exit poll had been announced, rewarding two close allies: Liam Booth-Smith with a peerage and Oliver Dowden with a knighthood.
