United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer gave the position of deputy prime minister on Friday to David Lammy, a close friend of Vice President JD Vance .

Lammy will also be the new justice secretary after a one-year stint as foreign secretary. That position will be filled by the former home secretary, Yvette Cooper. She will be replaced by the previous justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, who joined a 2014 pro-Palestinian protest that forced a supermarket to close for several hours.
