What are the changes compared to the line up announced after the GE?
Primarolo is out because of her new Deputy Speaker role and the regional ministers have been added (IIRC they weren’t mentioned at the time). Anything else?
On a related matter, I read last month that the Shadaw Leader of the House and Shadow Chief Whip in the Lords are both elected positions when in opposition (by Labour Peers like the PLP elects the other Shadaw Cabinet members) and that the election (if there were more than 1 candiate) would have taken place in June. I guess that it means Royall and Bassam were either unopposed or re-elected.
Thanks for this. Do we know when Shadow Cabinet elections are? Presumably, after party conference/new leader announced? I was told Lord (Denis) Tunnicliffe was in Shadow Health Team, do you know if it is def Maggie Jones for Lords?
