Starmer reshuffles Labour shadow cabinet
Concerns as workers' rights and mental health spokesperson roles disappear from front bench
Angela Rayner has been promoted to shadow levelling-up secretary alongside her deputy leader role

LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer was condemned yesterday for stripping his front bench of positions dedicated to workers’ rights and mental health.

The party announced its reshuffle as MPs returned from the summer recess, with Angela Rayner promoted to shadow levelling-up secretary alongside her deputy leader role.

Lisa Nandy, described as a member of Labour’s “soft left,” was demoted from shadow levelling-up secretary to take on the international development brief.
