Sir Keir Starmer is carrying out a shadow cabinet reshuffle today, with a number of switches expected. The Labour leader is quoted as saying he has given Angela Rayner an 'important role' in his team."Keir is delighted that Angela has accepted this important role; in addition she will continue to be the strategic lead on Labour's new deal for working people," the Labour source is quoted as saying by the PA news agency.
Oldham West and Royton MP Jim McMahon has also announced he is stepping down as shadow environment secretary. In a letter to Sir Keir posted on X, the MP said he wanted to step back for the benefit of his health and his family after coming back from a serious illness.
