With a host of big beasts either quitting or likely to lose their seats, who would sit round a Tory shadow cabinet table if Labour wins the next general election? ✒️ youngvulgarian explores
. As it stands, voters believe Labour would do a better job than the current Government on all policy areas apart from the handling of the Ukraine war.
As Jeremy Corbyn found out a few years ago, filling a shadow Cabinet no one really wants to be in is no easy feat., it is possible to see what the party may look like if the polls fail to shift significantly between now and a general election. The model should be taken with a pinch of salt, as voting intentions do tend to shift when an election gets closer, but taking it at face value still provides an interesting exercise.
It seems likely that Dominic Raab would be ousted by the Liberal Democrats the next time around, and Greg Hands has already announced that he is standing down. Boris Johnson would currently lose his Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat but an unexpected return shouldn’t be ruled out. It isn’t like the survivors will have an easy ride either. “The first shadow Cabinet meeting when the Tories lost in ’97 was actually a bit of a culture shock because most of them, having been in government for 18 years, didn’t even know where the shadow Cabinet room was”, says Dr Nigel Fletcher, director of the Centre for Opposition Studies and a former Conservative adviser.
