Keir Starmer appointed his cabinet following a landslide Labour victory in Thursday’s (4 July) general election that saw the party sweep back into power of the first time in 14 years. Shortly after speaking to the nation outside Number 10 Downing street in his first address as prime minister Friday (5 July), the Labour leader revealed the MPs who would be joining his top team. Key appointments see Angela Rayner become deputy prime minister and levelling up secretary, Lisa Nandy become culture, media and sport secretary, and Wes Streeting become health secretary. The announcements come at a trying time for Labour in terms of support from the LGBTQ+ community. In recent months, Labour has faced scrutiny over its stance on trans issues and back-pedalling of long-held promises.
