Who will be in Labour’s cabinet if Keir Starmer wins the general election?
The general election is only a few days away and the polls suggest Labour will be in a position to form a government on 5 July.
As well as bringing a fresh intake of MPs, a Labour victory would mean a new cabinet running the country with Sir Keir Starmer.
The cabinet is made up of about 20 senior ministers, each appointed by the prime minister and most with their own department.
Although there may be minor changes, the cabinet is likely to be comprised in line with the current shadow cabinet.
