🚨 Big Cabinet Changes: Yvette Cooper’s New Role 🚨
In a surprising reshuffle, Yvette Cooper, previously Home Secretary, is now the UK’s Foreign Secretary. Her hubby, Ed Balls, revealed she finds this move a bit frustrating. While she’s thrilled about her new role, she was knee-deep in tackling migration issues, making solid plans on deportations, asylum seeker housing, and strong partnerships with other countries. Just as things were picking up, she’s off to start afresh at the Foreign Office!
Ed Balls, a former bigwig himself, thinks the whole reshuffle feels a tad chaotic, especially so soon after Sir Keir Starmer promised stability and consistency.
David Lammy, who worked hard on building foreign ties, is now Deputy PM and Justice Secretary. It’s all change at the top!
Yvette isn’t wasting any time though – she’s already en route to Kyiv. Her visit highlights the UK’s unwavering support for Ukraine following recent Russian attacks. She’s announced a whopping £142 million aid package, focusing on essential repairs and protection for Ukraine’s infrastructure.
With her eyes set on shielding Europe from Russian threats, Yvette’s sending out a strong message: “Ukraine’s security means the UK’s security. We are here for the long haul.” 💪🇬🇧🇺🇦
