Keir Starmer is planning a major reshuffle of his cabinet to address Labour's declining popularity. He may replace Chancellor Rachel Reeves with Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and move other key figures within the government. Reeves has faced criticism for unpopular policies, including cuts to pension payments and tax increases. Labour's support has dropped significantly, with a recent poll showing Reform UK leading over Labour and the Conservatives. Starmer's potential changes come as Labour's economic promises struggle against a flatlining economy and immigration issues. The reshuffle is expected to take place in the Spring as Starmer seeks to regain public support.
