August 31Aug 31 So the resignation of James Cleverley to stand as London Mayor has meant a reshuffle of the opposition front bench but it turns into a major reshuffle as the major jobs have changed. Tom Tugenhadt takes over as shadow to Miliband at the Foreign Office as Priti Petel is sacked.Mel Stride moving to the back benches is no surprise to anyone as Andrew Griffith becomes shadow Chancellor Claire Coutinho is shadow Business SecDamien Hinds is the shadow Health Sec as Stuart Andrew is sacked.Katie Lam is the Housing SecGood to see another Truss mini budget defender in place at the Treasury, an easy attack point for Labour. Robert Jenerick was particularly adamant about this and didnt see the irony at all.
August 31Aug 31 There had been reports that a reshuffle w2as about to happen, so I suspect Dimly's resignation was a reaction to that, not the cause.Appointing one of the people responsible for Truss's disastrous Budget as Shadow Chancellor is an interesting move.
