New British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has appointed Ed Miliband as the country's foreign minister, according to Burnham's office on Monday. Miliband, a former leader of the Labour Party, previously served as energy secretary under former Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The appointment marks a return to high office for Miliband, who led Labour from 2010 to 2015. Burnham also named Shabana Mahmood as interior minister. Mahmood, who previously served as Home Secretary, was known for her tough stance on immigration and for banning the direct action group Palestine Action. Her new role will see her oversee domestic security and immigration policy. The reshuffle comes as Burnham forms his government after taking office. Both appointments were confirmed by the prime minister's office, though no further details about their immediate policy priorities were released. The changes are part of a broader cabinet reshuffle aimed at bringing experienced figures into key positions. Miliband and Mahmood are expected to take up their roles immediately. The opposition has responded cautiously, calling for clarity on foreign policy direction. Burnham's office stated that the appointments reflect a commitment to stability and experience in government.
