Following Angela Rayner’s resignation earlier today, a cabinet reshuffle has seen a series of cabinet appointments made.

David Lammy, most recently in the role of foreign secretary, has been appointed deputy prime minister in the reshuffle.

Yvette Cooper will now take up the foreign secretary mantle from her role as home secretary while Shabana Mahmood picks up home secretary.

The role of housing minister, previously also held by Rayner, has yet to be filled.
