On July 7, 2024, the UK formed a new government after the December 4 general election, where the Conservative Party, in power for 14 years, suffered a devastating loss. The Labour Party won 411 seats, making Keir Starmer the new Prime Minister who appointed a cabinet with 44% women, the highest ratio in UK history. The Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, is known for her grassroots background and unique path to politics after becoming pregnant at 16 and not attending university. The new government's first policies focus on issues such as ending the controversial 'Rwanda Plan' for deporting illegal immigrants. This move signifies a significant shift in political direction under Starmer's leadership.
