AN OXFORD MP has been appointed a senior position on the new Labour shadow cabinet.
Sir Keir Starmer picked his team today after winning a landslide victory in the Labour leadership contest.
The new leader of the opposition has vowed to make it his ‘mission’ to reconnect the party with the public, saying Labour needs to charge so trust can be regained.
Now it has been announced officially that Anneliese Dodds has been given the role of shadow chancellor of the exchequer.
The Labour Leader will chair a new Shadow C-19 Committee, which will be responsible for coordinating the Party’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The members of the Committee are:
Keir Starmer, Leader of the Opposition
Angela Rayner, Deputy Leader and Chair of the Labour Party
Anneliese Dodds, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer
Lisa Nandy, Shadow Foreign Secretary
Nick Thomas-Symonds, Shadow Home Secretary
Rachel Reeves, Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster
Jonathan Ashworth, Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
