While we've been reporting Starmer's cabinet appointments, Reform party leader Nigel Farage has been speaking after his party won four seats.

Just before his heckler-disrupted press conference I caught up with him as he left a celebratory lunch at Boisedale restaurant in central London.

He said he’d had a glass to celebrate and claimed he didn’t care about the Conservative Party after Reform had squeezed their vote.

He also promised he would make his party more professional, getting rid of candidates with racist and discriminatory views.

Farage’s big message is they are now going after Labour and the votes they won.

David Lammy has reacted on X, external, after being appointed foreign secretary in Starmer's cabinet.

"It is the honour of my life," he says.

Lammy adds that the "world faces huge challenges", saying he will "navigate them with the UK's enormous strengths".

"We will reconnect Britain for our security and prosperity at home."

Rachel Reeves has been speaking at the Treasury after being made chancellor.

She says she's often disagreed with political choices made in the Treasury but has never doubted the dedication of Treasury staff.

"I'm under no illusions of the scale of challenges we face," she says, adding that she can't promise it'll be easy and "it's a long road ahead".

"We're a new team, it's a new start so let's get to work," she says to loud applause.

She has also posted on social media that being the first female chancellor comes with "historic responsibility".

"To every young girl and woman reading this, let today show that there should be no limits on your ambitions."

Watch her remarks below:

In the last half an hour, we've seen several appointments to Sir Keir Starmer's new cabinet.

Here's who have got the top jobs so far:

Angela Rayner - deputy prime minister and secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities

Rachel Reeves - chancellor

David Lammy - foreign secretary

Yvette Cooper - home secretary

John Healey - defence secretary

Pat McFadden- Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster

This means after the prime minister, he is the most senior minister in the Cabinet Office.

Lisa Nandy, who served as shadow international development minister, has entered Downing Street - her department was merged with business under the Conservatives and it remains to be seen whether it is split once again under Labour.

Ian Murray, who looks set to be Scotland secretary after a huge resurgence in Labour's vote there, and Louise Haigh, likely to be transport secretary shortly, arrived next.

Meanwhile new Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has now left No 10.

More likely future cabinet appointees are arriving in No 10 now - including Ed Miliband who's tipped to be the energy minister.

Jo Stevens, set to be Welsh secretary, has also gone in to speak to Keir Starmer.

Expected to be the new business secretary, he is the next senior Labour politician to head through the black No 10 door.

She is also secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities.

Just a word of caution...

Until we see the official press releases and the ministers emerge from Downing Street, none of these appointments are confirmed, until they are confirmed.

Yvette Cooper is the latest senior Labour politician to head in to see Keir Starmer, looking set to become the next home secretary.

Bridget Phillipson, Peter Kyle and Anneliese Dodds have also gone in, having served as shadow education secretary, science minister and chair of the Labour Party respectively before the election.

It looks like the future cabinet members are being held for a few moments outside the gates of Downing Street, to ensure each gets their photo opportunity heading into No 10.

David Lammy, who was shadow foreign secretary while Labour was in opposition, has arrived at No 10 to see the new PM.
