Close Burnham allies Louise Haigh, Anneliese Midgley and Deputy Labour leader Lucy Powell are all likely to be given significant roles. The fates of Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, former Health Secretary Wes Streeting and former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner will all be closely watched as Burnham seeks to avoid having powerful rivals on Labour’s back benches. Starmer, who remains an MP, is not expected to want or be given a cabinet role.
