Reshuffle: Keir Starmer’s new Labour frontbench in full

Labour leader Keir Starmer has completed his appointments to the main opposition party frontbench today, after announcing the results of a shadow cabinet reshuffle last weekend.

In the reshuffle on Sunday, Angela Rayner lost her party chair and national campaign coordinator roles to Anneliese Dodds and Shabana Mahmood respectively. Dodds will also chair the Labour policy review.

Nick Brown and Valerie Vaz left the frontbench altogether. Rachel Reeves replaced Dodds as Shadow Chancellor, while Lucy Powell replaced Thangam Debbonaire as Shadow Housing Secretary.

Debbonaire replaced Vaz as shadow leader of the House of Commons. Wes Streeting was promoted from junior shadow minister level to shadow cabinet member, responsible for work on child poverty.

In the wider frontbench reshuffle, Bambos Charalambous and Holly Lynch have swapped roles: he is now immigration minister and Lynch is now responsible for crime reduction and courts.

Stephanie Peacock has moved from the environment team, where she was responsible for flooding, and replaced Sharon Hodgson, Starmer’s new parliamentary private secretary, as shadow veterans minister.

Khalid Mahmood, who announced after the poor election results that he had quit the frontbench, has been replaced by Chris Evans as shadow procurement minister in the defence team.

Seema Malhotra was responsible for employment in the work and pensions team. She has now been moved to replace Lucy Powell in the business team and is shadow business and consumers minister.

Karen Buck is now on social security under Jonathan Reynolds. Andy McDonald remains a full Shadow Secretary of State and his role has been beefed up to include responsibility for employment in the work and pensions team.

Paul Blomfield is no longer in Emily Thornberry’s international trade team and has left the frontbench. Peter Kyle is the new shadow schools minister and Olivia Blake has the nature, water and flooding brief.

Mike Amesbury’s brief has been split in two, with Ruth Cadbury taking control of planning and him continuing with housing. Jeff Smith is now local government shadow minister, replacing Kate Hollern who quit this week.

The international development team has lost Anna McMorrin, who has taken responsibility for victims and youth justice, which used to be Kyle’s brief.
