Kemi Badenoch is preparing to reshuffle her shadow cabinet, aiming to invigorate the Conservative Party as it faces challenges from the Reform UK party. The reshuffle may see Sir James Cleverly return to a prominent role, and shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick is vying for the position of shadow chancellor. The changes signal a new phase in the party's policy renewal efforts and seek to consolidate unity under Badenoch's leadership. This move follows Badenoch's election as leader of the opposition just eight months prior.
Kemi Badenoch is expected to reshuffle her shadow cabinet ahead of the summer recess, with reports that her former rival Sir James Cleverly will make a return to the Conservative front bench.
The reshuffle comes just eight months after Ms Badenoch was elected as leader of the opposition, with the Tories underperforming against the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform UK party.
A Conservative source stated: The Leader of the Opposition will be making some changes to her frontbench team today, reflecting the next stage of the party's policy renewal programme.
The changes underline the unity of the party under new leadership and are aimed at responding to political challenges.
