The Labour leader promotes those on the Blair wing of the party to top jobs while demoting colleagues who are suspected of briefing against him.
Who is in and out of Starmer's cabinet?
I'm told the conversation was tricky: initially the Labour leader just said he wanted her to do this role and bigged it up. Ms Nandy then said"it sounds like you don't really want me" and he effectively admitted that. Swallowing her pride, however, subsequently she put out a statement saying she's a team player and accepted the job - the number two in the Foreign Office, shadowing international development with the right to attend cabinet.
Some will point to the influence of the backroom campaign chief Morgan McSweeney, who has a fractious relationship with the left of the party, though often Labour staff members can become bogeymen for elected politicians not wanted to blame the leader themselves.
