Labour reshuffle: Who’s who in Starmer’s new shadow cabinet?
Sir Keir Starmer says his new-look shadow cabinet has been chosen for their “hunger” in the lead-up to the next general election.
The Labour top team returned from summer recess today with centrists promoted at the expense of the soft left.
Blairites Liz Kendall and Darren Jones join as shadow work and pensions secretary and shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, respectively.
Hilary Benn, a cabinet minister under former Labour prime ministers Blair and Brown, has become shadow Northern Ireland secretary.
Lisa Nandy and Nick Thomas-Symonds, who both shadowed the Great Offices of State in Sir Keir’s first year and a half as party leader, have been demoted to less senior positions.

Liz Kendall says Keir Starmer's decision to suspend a Labour candidate who placed a bet on himself losing the election shows how the party is different from the Conservatives. She accused Rishi Sunak of 'dithering' over the betting scandal that is plaguing the Conservatives and said his actions reinforced a 'one rule for them' mentality.

He said: “When it comes to a political party, if there is evidence of this type of behaviour, it is incumbent on the leaders of those parties to take swift and decisive action.” It comes as a Channel 4 investigation filmed a canvasser saying that migrants crossing the Channel should be used as “target practice”.

Labour's Darren Jones has criticized the prime minister for "not prioritising" the smoking ban in the final week of parliament. Rishi Sunak said he was "disappointed" his bill banning young people from ever being able to smoke legally will not pass before the general election.
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill is not included in the legislation being rushed through by MPs ahead of Parliament shutting down on Friday. "If we win the election on July the 4th, we will be setting out our own legislative plans in a Labour King speech in due course and we will list our priorities at that time," Mr Jones said.
