UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham appoints Jonathan Reynolds as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade and Angela Rayner as the housing minister. Both appointments are part of a wider cabinet reshuffle that replaces multiple senior roles. The new business portfolio returns Reynolds to government leadership in the area of business and trade, with the expanded remit covering innovation, science and trade. The Hindu notes that Reynolds had previously lost his business minister post to Peter Kyle in an earlier reshuffle under former Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Burnham now places him back in the business department. Times of India reports that Rayner returns to government as housing minister after having resigned previously. Both outlets describe the changes as part of a broad overhaul of the cabinet, including the removal of several figures from the previous administration.
