Douglas Alexander continues to serve as Scottish Secretary under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, according to multiple reports. The outlets say Alexander was originally appointed by Sir Keir Starmer and retains the role despite wider changes to senior government positions. Both sources reference the government’s reshuffle, describing a “purge” or removal of a number of leading figures from the Cabinet, while Alexander is not among those replaced. The reports present Alexander’s retention as an exception within the broader staffing changes, indicating that his position is maintained under the new administration. No additional details are provided in the excerpts about Alexander’s responsibilities, policy priorities, or any changes to his portfolio. The coverage focuses on the personnel outcome—Alexander staying in post—rather than on substantive legislative developments.
