Poppy Gustafsson ‘poised to resign’

Baroness Poppy Gustafsson is reportedly set to resign from her position as investment minister, less than a year after her appointment by Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Citing personal reasons, she aims to spend more time with her young children. Gustafsson, who previously led the cyber-security firm Darktrace, advocated for more business leaders in government. Her tenure at Darktrace saw significant growth, culminating in a public listing in 2021, though the company was later taken private. Starmer's appointment of Gustafsson was viewed as a significant gain for the government.
