British lawmakers were sworn in on Tuesday (July 9) as parliament convened for the first time since British Prime Minister Keir Starmer won a large majority in last week's election. As per custom, the longest-serving lawmaker, Sir Edward Leigh, was sworn in as the so-called 'Father of the House,' followed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, members of his newly constituted cabinet, and the shadow cabinet. Keir Starmer led Britain's Labour Party to a landslide victory in the 2024 parliamentary election, taking over from the Conservatives after 14 years in opposition and named his new cabinet last week after the July 4 poll. Opposition leader Rishi Sunak set out his shadow cabinet on Monday (July 8), with some senior ministers such as MPs Jeremy Hunt and James Cleverly reprising the roles they held in government prior to the election, while former Foreign Secretary David Cameron resigned.
