Andy Burnham’s new Cabinet: Angela Rayner given old job back
• Andy Burnham has appointed a new Cabinet, notably reinstating Angela Rayner as Housing Secretary less than a year after reports surfaced regarding her failure to pay £40,000 in stamp duty. • The reshuffle includes the departure of Jenny Chapman, who stepped down from her role as International Development Minister on July 20, 2026. • Political historians suggest this move puts pressure on Burnham to demonstrate superior leadership compared to his predecessor, Sir Keir Starmer, to maintain voter confidence.
