LIVE: Keir Starmer Unveils New Cabinet After Assuming Role of UK PM | UK General Election 2024| CNBC TV18
Labour leader Keir Starmer officially became the prime minister of Britain on Friday, following his party's landslide victory in the general elections after being in opposition for over a decade.
New prime minister Keir Starmer is expected to hold his first cabinet meeting today, following a landslide election win that saw Labour win 412 seats.
Starmer has appointed a record 11 women to his cabinet, including Rachel Reeves who became the first female chancellor, Shabana Mahmood as justice secretary, and Yvette Cooper as home secretary.
"The work of change begins immediately," Starmer said in his maiden speech outside Downing Street, pledging that his would be a "government of service".
Pat McFadden, who was named chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, confirmed that the cabinet would meet on Saturday - which is also when the final constituency is set for a recount.
Britain’s Labour Party seemed poised for a landslide victory in Friday's parliamentary election, as indicated by an exit poll released after voting ended at 10 pm (UK local time) on Thursday. The poll, released just after voting ended, suggested that centre-left Labour leader Keir Starmer would be the next prime minister.
Keir Starmer cabinet List
Angela Rayner: Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities; Deputy prime minister
Rachel Reeves: Chancellor of the Exchequer
Pat McFadden: Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
David Lammy: Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs
Yvette Cooper: Secretary of State for the Home Department
John Healey: Secretary of State for Defence
Shabana Mahmood: Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice
Labour leader Keir Starmer declared the country is ready for change as he addressed his own constituency of Holborn and St Pancras in London. In a brief speech, Starmer stopped short of declaring victory as prime minister, but said the country had voted for change. After his speech, Starmer shook hands with his local opponents including Nick the Incredible Flying Brick of the Monster Raving Loony Party and Bobby “Elmo” Smith, who came dressed in an Elmo costume.

7:02 Now, if you don't very carefully on to this individual people, you know to find that the green screen glitched out and in a pooling back into the screen again. So where is this being recorded cause? This is not being recorded in London at all. Recipe in recorded summer else in a newsagent area or some sort of press conference where he is hiding wherever he is being recorded. Because if he looks out in he glitched out at 7 Minutes twenty something

Yup, Corbyn got a bigger percentage in 2017, than Starmer. I hope you all put your faith and beliefs in the government medical officers during the COVID-19 pandemic. He's just promoted one of them, Patrick Valance as the health sciences minister. So, if you didn't like them, back then. You better start liking them now, if you voted Labour.
