Kemi Badenoch, leader of the UK Conservative Party, has carried out a significant reshuffle of her shadow cabinet, bringing back former foreign and home secretary Sir James Cleverly as shadow housing secretary.
This move is seen as an attempt to add experience and name recognition to the top team, as the party struggles with poor polling and internal divisions. Cleverly's appointment is intended to help the Tories take on Labour, particularly on housing policy, and to present a more united front against both Labour and the rising Reform party.
The reshuffle also saw other changes, including a new shadow health secretary, as Badenoch seeks to reset her leadership and signal a 'mission of renewal.' However, critics have dismissed the changes as superficial, questioning whether they will be enough to revive the party's prospects.
