Reshuffle of junior ministers raises fears over future of Labour’s workers’ rights bill | Labour

Keir Starmer tried to tighten his grip to the government with a wave of changes in the young ministry, who left the allies of the unions and asks questions about the future of Labour’s rights package of the workers.

The restructuring was used by Downing Street to reform the reform to seize England in a prominent proposal to pointing to a harder stance in migration, now a self -defining star, who is now responsible for his home office supported by Sarah Jones, who returned to the summary of the old policing.

The Minister of Employment Rights Justin Madders was one of the first people in the young banks dismissed on Saturday. Although Labour is seen as one of the architects of the “New Agreement for Working People ,, the separation of Madders was not officially announced on No 10’s appointment list. Instead, he explained the news himself.

“It was a real privilege to serve as ministers for employment rights and to make our plan to pay for business.” He said in x. “Unfortunately, it is time to transfer the baton now – I wish my successor well and I will do my best to help them make sure ERB is applied as intended.”

With the abolition of Madders, Rayner’s forced separation from the two government positions and Labour’s leader, Labour removes the key figures that help design the draft employment rights – a policy unions as the most ambitious commitment of workers’ rights for decades.

Starmer is also a decision that intensifies concerns and rumors between trade unions and a decision that the government has removed him. Rayner was the closest cabinet to the unions, and Madders was given the job to turn the new agreement into a legislation.

Peter Kyle, a close Starmer ally, is promoted to lead the labor department on Friday, that is, he will supervise the employment rights summary.

The Rayner allies in the government believe that a fight against workers’ rights has been determined. Rayner and Madders are increasingly believe that Kyle has the ability to irrigate the bill – a package that many people from the party’s center feel never comfortable. Considering that the surveys show that more powerful employment protections are popular with voters who flirt with reform, it is possible that the issue will be faction.

The package had promised comprehensive reforms for workers, including the first day rights, prohibited zero -hour contracts, and more powerful fire and protections against refirm. “Rayner was the closest minister to the unions, and his team played an important role in forcing the locks of the draft employment rights through the government.

“The devotion to the bill is there than Keir, so I worry about it, but I am more concerned about who realizes the unions and has personal relationships.”

Ellie Reeves has been changed to the president of the lawyer as a party president and will no longer join the cabinet. Anna Turley was replaced. Georgia Gould from Labour’s 2024 purchase was promoted to the Minister of Education.

For Starmer, the cabinet change was about showing decisive leadership in the midst of a major crisis implied by the chief secretary Darren Jones. For many, however, this youth shows a wider ideological return that strengthens the government more under the control of the government, and the potential fights with trade unions along the way.

Meanwhile, the jolt in the Ministry of Interior will be taken as a sign of power by many people in the government. The new Foreign Minister Mahmood will lead a renewed team containing a former shadow minister, a former shadow minister who has long wanted to return to his summary. Jones has been seriously defined by some about public security and police reform, and is well considered well in the industry after his work on the industrial strategy in the steel and labor department.

Dame Diana Johnson was replaced by Jones and now he was working as a minister in the Department of Labor and Pension, while Dan Jarvis would remain a minister in his home office and also became a cabinet office minister.

Former President of Grimsby Town Football Club Jason Stockwood will sit at the Lordlar Assembly to become the investment minister as part of Starmer’s ministerial tremor. He was a candidate for the Mayor of Lincolnshire of Labour, but he was beaten by reform by Andrea Jenkyns.

Local Government Minister Jim McMahon was dismissed and will return to Backbenches with Defense Minister Maria Eagle. Catherine McKinnell resigned as State Minister for school standards, including supervision of reference reform. He said he rejected the opportunity to stay in the government.

Darren Jones rejected the idea that Nigel Farage would open “divisions, after Rayner’s departure could reveal the chapters within the Labor Party.

“Nigel Farage is wrong there, Jones Jones said to Sky News. “The Labor Party will not leave and will not be an early election.”
