In a major move today, Prime Minister Keir Starmer named Shabana Mahmood as the new UK Home Secretary. This decision came quickly after Angela Rayner stepped down from the post. Rayner’s departure follows questions over her tax payments.
Mahmood, 44, is the Member of Parliament for Birmingham Ladywood. Her appointment marks a historic moment. She is the first person of Pakistani descent to take on this crucial cabinet role.
