Sir Keir Starmer has ushered in his new cabinet ministers making some surprising moves including his appointment of James Timpson as prisons minister.

Labour's historic landslide election victory has left a Tory bloodbath in it's wake as several notable figures from the previous cabinet failed to win over the electorate.

And as the new cabinet make their way to Downing Street with many shadow ministers being promoted - certain cabinet decisions have left eyebrows raised.

James Timpson, chief executive of his father's Timpsons shoe repair chain business, was made the new minister for Prisons, Parole and Probation during the new Prime Minister's appointments shortly after 3pm today.

Another recognisable face joining the ranks of Starmer's new roster is Sir Patrick Vallance - who acted as a chief scientific adviser during the COVID-19 pandemic.
