Badenoch Shuffles UK Tory Team in Bid to Salvage Leadership

UK opposition leader Kemi Badenoch shuffled her Conservative shadow cabinet in an attempt to reset her leadership of the party which is coming under pressure a year on from its landslide election defeat.

Badenoch appointed Tory moderate James Cleverly to her front-bench line-up as shadow housing secretary, a person familiar with the matter said. Stuart Andrew will become shadow health secretary, replacing Ed Argar, and Nigel Huddleston will be shadow culture secretary. Kevin Hollinrake will come in as party chairman, they said.
