Andy Burnham named former Nottingham North and Kimberley MP as the new justice secretary in a government reorganisation on Tuesday. The unnamed predecessor was replaced after the change. Wes Streeting offered a mea culpa after on‑mic comments about prisoner releases were overheard during a media briefing. Reports revealed multiple senior role changes rode alongside the reshuffle. The reshuffle took place amid wider adjustments to Burnham's administration.
