- Yvette Cooper's husband, Ed Balls, has revealed she found her recent move to foreign secretary "frustrating", despite being excited about the new role.
- Ms Cooper's frustration stemmed from being shifted out of the Home Office just as she was making progress on tackling migration issues, he said.
- Mr Balls, a former Labour Cabinet minister, criticised Sir Keir Starmer's reshuffle, saying it made the government appear "chaotic" and hindered delivery.
- In her first act as foreign secretary, Ms Cooper travelled to Kyiv to signal the UK's unwavering support for Ukraine.
- During her visit, she announced £142 million in UK aid for Ukraine, comprising £100 million for civilian support and £42 million for energy infrastructure protection.
