Leader finalises shadow cabinet Who are the MPs completing the lineup?
The Guardian
|November 06, 2024
Chris Philp - shadow home secretary Philp has been rewarded as an enthusiastic backer of Badenoch.
His appointment is a logical step given he spent the final two years of Conservative government in the Home Office, as policing minister, having served time in the justice department and Treasury. Seen as generally on the right of the party, Philp is known for his dogged loyalty to the leadership and a willingness to vigorously defend whatever the policy of the day is.
Alex Burghart - shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster/Northern Ireland secretary Doubling up on a job, a sign of how depleted the Tory ranks are, this is the first cabinet-level frontbench job for Burghart, one of Badenoch's closest allies who will be trusted to help coordinate policy and personnel.
James Cartlidge - shadow defence secretary
Cartlidge continues in a job he has done since the election, having been minister for defence procurement in government. A Badenoch backer, he is not known as being notably ideological.
Ed Argar-shadow health secretary
A barely known figure to the public, Argar - who supported Jenrick in the leadership contest - has diligently filled a series of government roles including in the health, Treasury and justice departments.
Kevin Hollinrake - shadow housing and communities secretary
Another close Badenoch ally who is nonetheless seen as more centrist, Hollinrake has spent nearly a decade as an MP, with his ministerial roles all at the business department including when Badenoch was the business secretary.
