SIR KEIR STARMER’S latest reshuffle of his shadow cabinet represents a shift to the right for the party, socialists said today as campaigners raised concerns about the future of Labour’s plans for a green industrial revolution.
The party leader unveiled his new front-bench team in full on Monday night, with promotions for Blairites Wes Streeting and Yvette Cooper.
Ms Cooper returned to her former position of shadow home secretary, replacing Nick Thomas-Symonds, while Mr Streeting took over from Jonathan Ashworth as shadow health secretary.
