PREVIEW

James Cleverly Returns to the Frontbench. Kemi Badenoch reshuffles the Conservative shadow cabinet, bringing back James Cleverly as shadow housing secretary, while Ed Argar steps down and another Tory defects to Reform UK. Cleverly becomes shadow secretary for housing, facing Deputy PM Angela Rayner. The role focuses on cutting council tax and increasing housebuilding. Cleverly, former foreign and home secretary, lost last year’s leadership race and now replaces Kevin Hollinrake. Kevin Hollinrake moves to become Conservative Party chair, bringing business experience to the role. The reshuffle also sees Ed Argar step down as shadow health secretary due to health concerns. Stuart Andrew takes over the health portfolio after serving as shadow digital, culture, media and sport secretary. Nigel Huddleston, previously Conservative chair, steps into Andrew's former culture role. The reshuffle comes amid Conservative turbulence and Laura Anne Jones's defection to Reform UK. Farage says the reshuffle is pointless and the Tories aren’t a viable national party before next year’s elections.
