Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, and Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, were seen as the leading contenders to succeed her. David Lammy, who had combined the roles of Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, was also let go. Louise Haigh, a prominent supporter, was reportedly offered a senior role but turned it down, according to reporting on the reshuffle.
