Yvette Cooper had just been named Britain’s foreign secretary when she ordered Peter Mandelson, Britain’s ambassador to the United States, to return home in light of revelations about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. She also advised Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign, paving the way for Andy Burnham to become prime minister. However, Burnham replaced Cooper as foreign secretary in his new government, naming Ed Miliband to that role. Cooper was named health secretary.
