UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, shuffles cabinet to bolster pledges on economy
Mr Sunak created a new energy security and net zero department, led by former business minister Grant Shapps, and three other departments, with one focusing on science and innovation, a personal passion for the British leader.
"The government needs to reflect the priorities of the British people and be designed to deliver for them," Sunak said on Twitter."These changes will focus teams on the issues that will build a better future for our children and grandchildren." In the changes, trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch was given an expanded role including business and trade.
Raab denies the allegations and Sunak told reporters he would wait for the end of the investigation before making a decision on his deputy premier. But some climate campaigners, while welcoming the creation of an energy and net zero department, said they feared it could become too distant from other ministries such as business.
Since entering Downing Street in October, Sunak has been under pressure to set out his stall, with some in his party questioning whether he was overly managerial and lacked an overriding ideology or vision for Britain.
