UK PM Andy Burnham appoints Jonathan Reynolds as Business Minister and Angela Rayner as Housing Minister
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced the appointment of Jonathan Reynolds as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade in an expanded role, and Angela Rayner as Housing Minister, on July 20, 2026. Reynolds had previously lost his position as Business Minister under former PM Keir Starmer. Rayner returns to cabinet after stepping down last year due to a tax underpayment scandal and breach of ministerial code. Other key appointments include John Healey as Finance Minister, Ed Miliband as Foreign Minister, Shabana Mahmood as Interior Minister, and Yvette Cooper as Health Minister. The reshuffle marks Burnham's first cabinet formation after taking office.
