Keir Starmer has begun his first full day as the UK’s new prime minister.
He has held a meeting of his new cabinet, having vowed to start work “immediately”.
His new cabinet includes Rachel Reeves as chancellor, Angela Rayner as deputy leader and Yvette Cooper as home secretary.
Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak has said that he will stay on as conservative leader until plans are in place to choose his successor
Labour won a landslide that rivals the all-time best it achieved under Tony Blair in 1997.
Sir Keir Starmer will be in Washington DC next week for Nato’s 75th anniversary summit, which starts on Tuesday.
It will be first foreign trip as prime minister and a key moment to further strengthen ties between Westminster and DC.
Yesterday, Nato’s head Jens Stoltenberg said he was looking forward to meeting Starmer again next week, who he described as a “strong supporter of Nato”.
Stoltenberg also said he expects the military alliance will agree a “substantial package for Ukraine” at the gathering in the US capital next week.
