⭐️Update: The Cabinet’s gender-balance is 45% with 11 women out of the 24 appointed ministers so far —— U.K.’s First Gender-Equal Cabinet Appointed 🇬🇧 🚀Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has made history appointing the nation’s first-ever gender-equal cabinet, with 11 out of 22 so far appointed ministers being women. 📌Notably, this includes Rt Hon Rachel Reeves the UK's first female Chancellor of the Exchequer, an economist educated at University of Oxford and The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) prior to her entry into politics. 📌The most senior minister is Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister who will also act as Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. 📌These appointments are a bold step towards inclusive leadership. Snapshot of the gender-balance record of previous PM’s: Rishi Sunak, women made up just 23% of the cabinet. With Liz Truss, 33%; Boris Johnson, 24%; and Theresa May, 30%. 📌This move will boost confidence that women's perspectives will be considered considered in lawmaking and policy decisions. With the UK population being 51% female, this is a positive step toward more inclusive economic and social development. 📌The cabinet announcements follow a parliament that is now 40% female. Congratulations to the UK for achieving its most gender-balanced government ever! 💡Leadership Lesson: Gender balanced leadership is achievable. It requires the determination and commitment of those in power to make it happen. ____ Full List Angela Rayner, Deputy Prime Minister as Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Rachel Reeves MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer Yvette Cooper, Secretary of State for the Home Department Shabana Mahmood, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice Bridget Phillipson, Secretary of State for Education Liz Kendall,Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Louise Haigh, Secretary of State for Transport Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Jo Stevens, Secretary of State for Wales Lucy Powell, Lord President of the Council, and Leader of the House of Common Baroness Smith of Basildon, Lord Privy Seal, and Leader of the House of Lords #genderbalance #leadership #DrAnino Avivah Wittenberg-Cox | Edwina Dunn OBE | Gina Lodge | Sophia Swire | Zarin Hainsworth OBE | Silvana Koch-Mehrin
I try not to see it as a gender thing. Those women have indeed been active in politics.
It shows an ethnic minority imbalance.

I’m more concerned about ability than anything and that they will represent the people
Awesome and not one racially diverse woman in 2024. Lets be clear that's not gender balance!

Yes, but Labor still doesn't have a woman Prime Minister--the Tories did--Margaret Thatcher.
Kudos! , we salute them, they must carry forward the aspirations of women , vulnerable communities, people with disabilities, children and the whole Population in the UK.
Yes!! Thanks for posting.
Good to see a fair representation, advanced economies can only thrive when both genders have opportunities to contribute fully
I hope the cabinet has been chosen to get the best people to do the job rather than trying to get a "gender balanced" cabinet🤔 If that is the case, then it is good news all round, if not, then having people in the top jobs that are not up to the task will be a disaster.

3wIndeed this is a model that is visible for all to now see how it will workout. Happening at the top level of society is inspiring and encouraging.🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏 More important than this is that there were women qualified to occupy these positions. This didn't just happen They had to be equipped, have access and opportunity. I am wondering maybe it's why there is no black woman there or am I being picky
