Meet Keir's Cabinet as new Prime Minister gets to work on first day

It's been less than 24 hours since Keir Starmer was handed the keys to 10 Downing Street and he has already ushered in his new cabinet.

Sir Keir, who is now Britain's 58th prime minister, took no time in appointing many of the key players who are set to shape his government - and the country - over the next five years.

While many of those who secured the cabinet roles were unsurprising for most, some of their backgrounds paint a more interesting picture.

From an Oxford graduate who starred in Byker Grove to the renowned 'Dr Doom' who became a household name during Covid and even the chief executive of Timpsons, there are plenty of noteworthy characters taking up the top jobs.

Here MailOnline looks at some of the newly appointed members on Sir Keir's team and how they came to be part of this Labour government.
