Sir Keir Starmer has appointed Dan Jarvis, the MP for Barnsley, as the new Defence Secretary. This appointment follows a period of instability within the government, as Starmer was hit with another resignation shortly before the announcement. Al Carns, who previously served as the Armed Forces Minister, has quit his position. The transition marks a significant change in leadership for the defence portfolio as the administration manages these internal ministerial shifts.
