Keir Starmer assured after assuming his first ‘cabinet of ministers’ that “the Rwanda plan is over”.

“The Rwanda plan is dead and buried,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared as he announced the decisions taken by his first cabinet of ministers within hours of his arrival at Downing Street. “We will be judged by our actions, not our words,” the Labour leader added. “And we will have to make tough decisions in the days ahead.”

Starmer assured that the plan to deport immigrants from the African country pending their asylum application – crippled ‘at the extreme’ by the European Court of Human Rights and repeatedly appealed before British courts – was “over before it even started.” The Labour leader questioned the legality, effectiveness and high cost of the plan hatched by Boris Johnson and reactivated by Rishi Sunak.

His options moving forward in the electoral campaign include Creation of a Border Security Command and extensive cooperation with France and other European countries must dismantle human trafficking networks (President Macron was the first international leader to congratulate him on his election victory).

The decision comes just days after a record number of crossings of the English Channel were recorded. In the first half of the year, there were 12,600 irregular immigrants. Starmer also intends to speed up the processing of about 70,000 asylum applications still pending.

In its premiere as ‘The Premier’ in front of the media, Labor reiterates support for Ukraine

This follows a telephone conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday evening. “Security and defense is our highest responsibility”He made the announcement while advancing his trip to Washington next Tuesday to attend the NATO summit and hold his first meetings with international leaders.

After hailing the “clear mandate” of voters and the triple majority achieved by Labour in England, Wales and Scotland, Starmer will embark on a “four nations” tour on Sunday, including Northern Ireland (where the republican party and the island’s reunionist Sinn Fein won seven seats).

“Economic development will be our main mission”Starmer reiterated, supported by Rachel Reeves, the first woman in charge of Treasury Secretary. The ‘Prime Minister’ has already confirmed that his plans do not include re-entry into the EU or a return to the single market or customs union.

“I’m not a tribal politician,” he recalled, acknowledging that some Tories may have close advisers in some positions. “The mindset of this government has already changed,” Starmer warned. “We will put country first and party second, and that is more than a slogan.”

Regarding the composition of his government, with 44% women (46% of the 412 Labor seats would be occupied by female representatives) and a majority public education, he summarized: “My Cabinet reflects the aspirations of the British people. “Aspiration is a value I’ve always used as a foundation in my life.”

Starmer’s ‘women’

Starmer took charge of his first “cabinet of ministers” this Saturday, with 44% of his team being women. Ethnic diversity is lower than in previous Conservative cabinetsBut one feature also distinguishes the new government team: the vast majority were educated in public schools and only two had private education, a status symbol that has always defined conservative ministers.

Under the steady rain that has lashed Downing Street since Rishi Sunak called the election, the parade of new ministers took place ahead of the first meeting of the executive, where the first series of measures were laid out. The slogan of “stability and restraint”.

These are the key members of Cabinet who will support the Labour leader in his “first steps” as ‘premier’.

Angela Rayner. Despite the love/hate relationship between them over the past four years, Starmer has made his ‘number two’ deputy prime minister. Rayner, 44, left school at 16 when she became pregnant, worked as a carer and entered politics through a union. Situated to the left of her own leader, she has been a favourite target of conservative newspapers hate campaigns on the networks. She will also be minister for “economic equality” and has promised the “biggest boost to the construction of social housing in a generation”.

Rachel Reeves. The first woman to become Treasury Secretary at the age of 45 has a completely different profile. She was a child chess champion, worked at the Bank of England and worked in the private financial sector before entering politics. It has been promoting the business sector for more than two years and has received the blessing of sepia newspapers Recipe from “Securonomics” (despite accusations of plagiarism in her book ‘The Women Who Made Modern Economics’). It aspires to achieve “the G7’s highest sustained economic growth” with its prescription of “stability, investment and reform”.

Yvette Cooper. A Blair-era heiress and former Labour leadership candidate, at age 55 she takes on one of the most difficult positions, that of home secretary. She promised during the campaign End of the ‘Rwanda plan’ From day one. It should set out in detail what the Labour government plans to do to tackle illegal immigration and crossing the English Channel. And also end the “hostile environment” promoted by their predecessors in office, from Theresa May to Suella Braverman.

Bridget Phillipson. The new Education Secretary was the first MP to claim victory on election day when she won her Sunderland South seat with a landslide majority. Starmer’s staunch allyWith the promise of breaking the “glass ceiling” of public education and generating additional funding of 1.9 billion euros annually (from the abolition of tax exemptions for private schools), the 40-year-old assumes a position of high symbolic value.

Shabana Mahmood. At 43, she takes over as justice minister with the serious challenge of reducing pressure on British prisons to the maximum extent of their capacity. The daughter of Saudi Arabian immigrants, she did not hesitate to criticise the party’s official position on the Gaza war and urged Starmer to “Rebuild relationships with Muslim voters”

,

Liz Kendall. A lifelong Blairite, situated on the right wing of the party, she rose to the post of work and pensions secretary at the age of 53 with the kind of New Labour rhetoric that has alarmed unions: “Living exclusively on profits is not a social option.”

Lewis High. At 36, known for her hairstyles and sense of humour, the new Transport Secretary is the government’s ‘baby girl’, with a mission to end the decline of infrastructure and begin the progressive renationalisation of the limping British trains under the umbrella of Great British Railways.

Sue Gray. Keir Starmer had the audacity or The courage to name the ‘Partygate’ investigator as his chief of staff. Although she is not an official member of the cabinet, her mission (at age 66) will be to ensure cabinet ethics and streamline the bureaucracy with her experience of more than three decades as a senior official.
