Following the news this morning of Ken Clarke’s return to the Tory front-bench, PoliticsHome lists all the changes:
The Rt Hon Kenneth Clarke QC MP [replaces Alan Duncan]
Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory ReformMark Francois MP [current post, now promoted to shadow cabinet]
Shadow Minister for EuropeAlan Duncan MP [replaces Theresa May]
Shadow Leader of the House of CommonsChris Grayling MP [replaces Dominic Grieve]
Shadow Home SecretaryThe Rt Hon Dominic Grieve QC MP [replaces Nick Herbert]
Shadow Secretary of State for JusticeNick Herbert MP [replaces Peter Ainsworth, who is sacked]
Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsThe Rt Hon Theresa May MP [replaces Chris Grayling]
Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and Shadow Minister for WomenEric Pickles MP [replaces Caroline Spelman]
Chairman of the Conservative PartyCaroline Spelman MP [replaces Eric Pickles]
Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government
So, lots of post-shifting, but only one victim, the fairly hapless Peter Ainsworth, who (indirectly) makes way for Ken’s return.
