About
Louise Haigh was appointed First Secretary of State, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office when Andy Burnham formed his Cabinet on 20 July 2026 — a striking recovery after Keir Starmer sacked her as Transport Secretary in November 2024.
An early and prominent Burnham backer during the leadership contest, she has been MP for Sheffield Heeley since 2015.
