About our Liz Kendall news

Latest news on Liz Kendall, UK Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in Keir Starmer's Labour government, covering her new role, political career, and views on key welfare and employment issues.

Liz Kendall, born in 1971, has been appointed Secretary of State for Work and Pensions following Labour's victory in the 2024 general election. This marks a significant step in Kendall's political career, which began when she was first elected as MP for Leicester West in 2010.

As Work and Pensions Secretary, Kendall is responsible for overseeing the UK's welfare system, pensions, and employment policies. Her appointment follows her role as Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary since September 2023, where she developed Labour's policies on social security and employment rights.

Kendall brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having previously served as Shadow Minister for Care and Older People and running for Labour Party leadership in 2015. Known for her centrist views within the Labour Party, Kendall has advocated for policies such as expanding the living wage and reforming the welfare system.

In her new position, Kendall faces several challenges, including addressing in-work poverty, reforming Universal Credit, and ensuring the sustainability of the pension system. She has previously supported the benefit cap and spoken in favor of a points-based immigration system.
