But while the Shadow Cabinet has more round pegs in round holes, tension remains in offering some voters reassurance and others radicalism
Liz Kendall, Pat McFadden and Hilary Benn have all been appointed to the shadow cabinet
Some in the party claim Nandy was punished for not being totally on board with Starmer’s agenda, others that she appeared disengaged or wasn’t a “team player”. The Corbyn-backing group Momentum pointed out she was the main standard bearer of the “soft left” politics that the leader once embodied., was unceremoniously axed altogether as Starmer told her the role of shadow mental health minister would no longer be a Cabinet post in the government he wants to lead.
The elevation of Pat McFadden, a former No 10 aide to Blair, to the cabinet office and national campaign coordinator seals his role as one of Starmer’s most trusted political advisers . Peter Kyle’s promotion to shadow science and innovation secretary also cements his status, alongside his close ally Wes Streeting, as one of the new breed of modernisers.
Crucially, party sources said Rayner would remain as the “strategic lead” on workers’ rights, the policy agenda she’s pushed hard for the past two years. That feels like she will have a veto on any changes, should the Department for Business and Trade try to side with business over trade unions.
