"Grant Shapps Takes Over as UK Defence Minister, Claire Coutinho Appointed as Energy Secretary"

Grant Shapps has been appointed as the new defence secretary, replacing Ben Wallace. This is Shapps' fifth cabinet job in less than a year, and he has pledged to continue the UK's support for Ukraine. Shapps is known for his communication skills and has held various cabinet roles since 2012. Claire Coutinho replaces Shapps as Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary, while David Johnston takes over her role at the Department for Education. Some defense figures have mixed reactions to Shapps' appointment, citing his lack of military experience compared to Wallace. Wallace is stepping down as an MP at the next election after serving as defense secretary for four years.
