Philp appointed shadow home secretary by Badenoch

Chris Philp has been appointed shadow home secretary by new Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch.

The former Home Office minister supported Badenoch's leadership campaign.

On Monday it emerged that Badenoch had offered three of her former leadership rivals senior roles.

Robert Jenrick, who was beaten in the final round, will serve as shadow justice secretary, while Mel Stride will be shadow chancellor and Dame Priti Patel will be shadow foreign secretary.

Badenoch has now named her full shadow cabinet team ahead of their first meeting on Tuesday morning.

Other roles announced on Tuesday include:

Former Chief Secretary to the Treasury Laura Trott had already been confirmed as shadow education secretary, with Neil O’Brien appointed shadow education minister.

Both appeared in their new roles in the House of Commons at Education Questions on Monday.

Labour Party chairwoman Ellie Reeves said: "Instead of turning the page on 14 years of Tory government, Kemi Badenoch’s shadow cabinet shows that the Conservatives have learnt nothing.

"How can the new Conservative leader claim to be changing the Tory Party when most of her team were ministers for Liz Truss as they crashed Britain’s economy, or claim to want to uphold standards when most went AWOL for the vote on Boris Johnson’s antics at Partygate?"

The Liberal Democrats branded the appointments a "cabinet of contradictions" and "a recipe for yet more Conservative chaos".

The party's Cabinet Office spokeswoman Sarah Olney said: "How can they claim to be able to hold this new government to account when they have just as many disagreements with each other?"
