Six MPs from Yorkshire have been asked to serve in Sir Keir Starmer's new Cabinet, including the second most powerful person in Government, the Chancellor.
The Cabinet consists of the most senior Government roles - it is the inner circle of power within the leadership of the country.
The Chancellor is the head of HM Treasury - they control the public finances, making key decisions about how to raise revenue, through methods such as taxes, duties, borrowing and savings on public spending, and where to allocate it for spending on things like public services, government initiatives and investment in projects and businesses.West and Pudsey - is the first woman in history to be appointed to the role, having been shadow Chancellor before the election.
Along with the Prime Minister, Chancellor and Foreign Secretary, it makes up one fo the four 'great offices of state' - considered the most senior roles in the Cabinet.She held Cabinet roles under Blair as the Work and Pensions Secretary and Chief Secretary to the Treasury, then as both shadow Work and Pensions and shadow Foreign Secretary during the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition Government from 2010.
John Healey - the MP for Rawmarsh and Conisbrough, first elected in 1997 alongside Yvette Cooper - will now take up the post. However, this was a watering down of the party's promise to spend £28 billion a year on sustainable energy projects - of which Miliband was seen as a key proponent - blaming the Conservatives' stewardship of the economy.The Secretary of State for Transport - a.k.a. the Transport Secretary - is responsible for forming the Government's transport policies and investment decisions, including the public transport and roads network and decisions affecting private forms of transport.
