On July 6, 2024, the UK Labour Party returned to power after 14 years, with party leader Keir Starmer becoming the Prime Minister and immediately forming his cabinet. The new cabinet includes 11 women, the highest number in history. Rachel Reeves was appointed as the first female Chancellor of the Exchequer. In addition, Angela Rayner was appointed Deputy Prime Minister, and Yvette Cooper became the Home Secretary. This shift to the left reflects the voters' desire for change amidst economic stagnation, with the Labour Party focusing on reform to achieve a landslide victory over the conservative party that had been in power for 14 years.
