The **British Government**, officially known as **His Majesty’s Government** or **HM Government**, is the central executive authority of the United Kingdom. It operates under an uncodified constitution where executive power formally lies with the sovereign but is exercised on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. The government is led by the Prime Minister, currently Keir Starmer (since July 2024), who appoints ministers to oversee various departments such as the Treasury, Home Office, and Foreign Office. These ministers form the Cabinet, the supreme decision-making body responsible for setting policy and managing government affairs[1][2]. Historically, the British Government evolved from the monarchy’s direct rule to a constitutional system balancing royal authority with parliamentary sovereignty. Over centuries, this development established the UK as a parliamentary democracy with a distinct separation between the executive, legislature, and judiciary. The government’s legitimacy derives from its ability to command confidence in the elected House of Commons, with general elections held at least every five years[1]. Key achievements of the British Government include maintaining the UK’s global diplomatic influence, managing complex domestic policies, and modernizing national security capabilities. The 2025 National Security Strategy emphasizes strengthening borders, countering terrorism, cyber threats, and state adversaries like Russia, alongside a "NATO first" military modernization plan. The Strategic Defence Review 2025 aims to enhance military effectiveness through reforms in governance, financial management, and joint-service integration to meet evolving global threats[3][4]. Currently, the government is focused on reforms to improve efficiency, including significant civil service cuts and restructuring, to deliver on its policy agenda amid a challenging political landscape. The government also invests in data-driven analysis and cross-departmental collaboration to inform policy decisions, as reflected in the Analysis Function Strategy 2022–2025, which coordinates expert analytical professions across government[5][7]. Notable aspects include its historical resilience, complex constitutional framework, and active role in global security and technological modernizatio
