Keir Starmer is turning his attention to the junior ministerial ranks after pulling the pin on a huge Cabinet overhaul yesterday in the wake of Angela Rayner's resignation.

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to carry out a wide reshuffle of his top team after Ms Rayner, 45, quit as deputy prime minister and housing secretary.

Keir Starmer is taking a knife to his team just days after he tried to launch a Labour 'Phase 2' following a torrid summer and consistently dire polls.
