Jewish former Labour leader Ed Miliband tapped as new British foreign secretary

New UK PM Burnham shakes up cabinet, purging Starmer loyalists, signaling tack to left; Miliband led party from 2010 to 2015, when he lost election; criticized Israel's Gaza policy
Former Labour leader Ed Miliband has been appointed as the UK's new foreign secretary by incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham. This marks a significant political comeback for Miliband, who resigned in 2015 after an election loss. Burnham, who defeated Miliband for the Labour leadership in 2010, announced the appointment as he reshuffled the cabinet, removing loyalists of his predecessor Keir Starmer and signaling a shift to the left. Miliband, Labour's first Jewish leader, previously served as energy secretary under Starmer. His brother, David Miliband, also held the foreign secretary position from 2007 to 2010.
