Episode Details

Rachel Reeves has been ousted as Chancellor in a major cabinet shake-up, turning down a top role like Defence Secretary to join the backbenches — a move that signals a sharp pivot under the new Prime Minister. Reeves defended her economic record, but critics like Mel Stride slammed it as mismanagement. Alongside her, key allies including Deputy PM David Lammy, Attorney General Lord Hermer, and Science Secretary Liz Kendall are also departing, with Lammy praising his service and Hermer facing backlash for legal decisions. Darren Jones, Starmer’s trusted lieutenant, and others like Peter Kyle and Jo Stevens are also out, as the new leadership reshapes priorities — from regional funding to tech regulation — leaving old guard figures sidelined in a dramatic political reset.
