The new UK Cabinet
UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced her new Cabinet. Major portfolios are:
- PM: Liz Truss
- Deputy PM, Health: Therese Coffey
- Chancellor: Kwasi Kwarteng
- Foreign Secretary: James Cleverly
- Home Secretary: Suella Braverman
- Lord Chancellor: Brandon Lewis
The Cabinet has 23 members. By a quick count I make it eight women and 15 men.
In terms of backgrounds you have Ministers whose families emigrated from Ghana, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Iraq and Nigeria.
UK Labour are now well ahead in the polls. Truss has a big job ahead of her to turn things around.
