Read in Full: Starmer’s New Shadow Cabinet mdi-fullscreen

Starmer’s reshuffle is finally underway following last night’s bungled sacking of Angela Rayner. The big moves so far are:

  • Anneliese Dodds – sacked as Shadow chancellor*
  • Nick Brown – sacked as Chief Whip
  • Rachel Reeves – promoted to shadow chancellor from Cabinet Office
  • Angela Rayner – replaces Reeves as shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
  • Alan Campbell – promoted to chief whip from deputy chief whip
  • Valerie Vaz – sacked as shadow leader of the Commons
  • Thangam Debbonaire – promoted to shadow leader of the Commons, from shadow housing secretary

Relief for shadow foreign secretary Lisa Nandy and shadow health secretary Jon Ashworth as they both keep their jobs. Stay tuned…

*An embarrassing demotion is in line for Dodds, who is apparently going to head up Labour’s post-elections policy review.
