Jeremy Corbyn brought Clive Lewis back into his frontbench team tonight as part of a wave of appointments following the sudden resignation of Chris Williamson.
Lewis, the former shadow cabinet minister who previously held the defence and business portfolios, has been named a shadow Treasury minister under John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor.
Laura Pidcock, the north West Durham MP who last year attracted headlines when she vowed never to become friends with a Tory, takes the new post of shadow minister for labour.
“I am pleased to make these appointments to strengthen Labour’s frontbench team, which is now a government in waiting”, Corbyn said.
“I look forward to working with them in their new roles holding the government to account, developing policy to transform our country and, with their shadow secretary of states, preparing to form a government that will deliver for the many not the few.”
