Men and women of United Kingdom,
It's very important that the region's executive branch is run correctly, and I intend to ensure that it is. My Cabinet will continue to be a trusted group of experienced individuals who genuinely want to oversee the betterment of United Kingdom. With this reshuffle, I want to assure the British people that my new Cabinet will continue to effectively govern our great region.
Tony Benn will be continuing on as Home Secretary, and will also be taking on the Deputy Prime Ministership. Edward Stewart has been an extremely positive influence on me during this term, providing me with his wise insights, however I have advised the Queen to appoint Lord Arundel as a Crown Court Judge. I feel that there is nobody better suited for this position on the bench, and he too has expressed a great interest in the area. I'd like to thank Edward for his assistance over the past three weeks; he has been a valuable member of Cabinet and his input will be missed.
James Carnarvon has portrayed the image of a perfect Secretary, however he has resigned his post within the executive. I'd like to thank James for his efforts to create a fluid and flexible Foreign Office; they will not be forgotten. To replace James will be George Mountbatten, a former Foreign Secretary (amongst other things). I have full confidence in George's abilities - he will strive for a stronger Foreign Office, I have no doubt about that.
George W. de Clare, a former Prime Minister of United Kingdom, will become the Attorney General. George is well acquainted with our laws, and should HMG be brought before the court system once more, I'd have full confidence in his abilities to argue our case in a concise and effective manner.
This Cabinet will govern in your best interests. In the coming weeks their will be important strides towards a more constructive and productive community - that is the primary aim of this Government. It's important that we adapt to the wider NationStates climate, and that we evolve to become a community that works together to accomplish greater things.
Thank you my good people!

Royal Research Society:
On August 13th 2016, the Royal Research Society launched a new subsidiary think-tank organization, the Committee on Interregional Affairs (CIA), to focus on "helping [the gov't of NSUK and the British citizenry] better understand the world and the interregional policy choices facing United Kingdom and other regions." It is crucial for NSUK to remain steadfast in the tradition of building relations with other regions and explore areas of common interests especially in the era of centralization of the NS population.
We welcome any persons from our diplomatic regions to come join us in NSUK and become a Fellow for their region at the CIA. We are committed to learning about the happenings of your region and finding common goals that we can achieve together through policymaking.
Keep on the lookout for the monthly CIA Report.
