New Labour Prime Minister Starmer's Cabinet: Reeves as Chancellor, Timpson as Prisons Minister, and Key Appointments

In a historic moment for British politics, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer was sworn in as the new prime minister on July 6, 2024. Starmer's first day in office began with a cabinet meeting at Downing Street where he emphasized the importance of delivering on the party's promises and maintaining high standards of probity. One of Labour's key pledges is to increase NHS appointments by 40,000 per week.

Starmer has appointed Rachel Reeves as Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is expected to pursue economic policies inspired by Janet Yellen's modern supply-side economics. Reeves aims to create jobs and raise productivity while reducing inequality. She has also drawn up an industrial strategy, plans for a national wealth fund, and a publicly owned energy company.

Another significant appointment is James Timpson as Prisons Minister. Timpson, who believes only a third of prisoners should be incarcerated, will focus on reducing reoffending rates and addressing prison overcrowding. He has previously advocated for youth hubs to prevent young people from turning to crime.

Starmer's cabinet includes several other key figures such as Angela Rayner as Deputy Prime Minister and Levelling Up Secretary, David Lammy as Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper as Home Secretary, John Healey as Defense Secretary, Shabana Mahmood as Justice Secretary, Wes Streeting as Health Secretary, and Bridget Phillipson as Education Secretary.

The new Labour government is expected to make several announcements in the coming days regarding its plans for economic growth and public service reform. Starmer has also hinted at radical change in prison overcrowding and criminal justice system reforms.

‘It was surreal’: Labour’s dizzying transition to power, from polls to the palace

  • Unique Points
    • Keir Starmer chaired his first cabinet meeting in Downing Street less than 24 hours after King Charles offered his congratulations.
    • Starmer has moved fast to stamp his mark on his premiership - and to define it as ambitious, realistic, but above all straight and honest.
    • During the election campaign and for much of his time as Labour leader in opposition, Starmer had been difficult to gauge, appearing buttoned-up, cautious and impersonal. But during his speech outside No 10 on Friday after being invited to form a government by the king, and on Saturday in front of the press, he appeared more confident, relaxed and even at home in the heart of power.
    • Starmer did not duck questions or give evasive answers. When asked by the Observer if he would pledge to end the two-child benefit cap to help tackle child poverty - a move that many Labour MPs and supporters would love to see him announce early on, he said he would remain consistent with what he had said during the campaign.
    • Starmer hinted at radical change in prison overcrowding and reform of the criminal justice system, saying early intervention would prevent many people, particularly boys, ending up in prison. This and changing planning rules to make the building of prisons easier were parts of the solution.
    • Starmer said he would come clean with ‘raw honesty’ about the NHS. ‘It’s broken and our job now is not just to say who broke it - the last government - but to get on with fixing it.’
    • Over the next few days, Starmer will maintain the same relentless pace. On Sunday he will start a tour of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
    • The new Labour government is imminently expected to make a string of announcements about how it plans to take forward Starmer’s missions for government.
  • Accuracy
    • ]The upcoming quarterly refunding update from the US Treasury will provide information on how much bond supply there will be.[
    • Keir Starmer has moved fast to stamp his mark on his premiership - and to define it as ambitious, realistic, but above all straight and honest.
    • Prison population in England and Wales is at 87,453 out of a ‘useable operational capacity’ of 88,864.
    • Rachel Reeves is expected to pursue an economic agenda influenced by Janet Yellen’s policies
    • Reeves wrote in a book that her securonomics approach has roots in Yellen’s modern supply-side economics
