[Labour reshuffle: Anneliese Dodds out
in Starmer's post-election reshuffle

Anneliese Dodds will now become
the Labour Party's chair - replacing deputy
leader Angela Rayner, who Sir Keir fired
from the role on Saturday.

Ms Rayner will instead replace Rachel Reeves in shadowing
Michael Gove at the Cabinet Office, as Ms Reeves is
promoted to the shadow chancellor role.

The Labour leader said he had faith in
his "refreshed and renewed team".

In a statement, he added that Labour "must be
the party that embraces the demand for
change across our country" - and that the
new shadow cabinet was the right one to take on the challenge.]

[After the announcement, Ms Rayner said she
would use her new role
to "focus on the future of work and the future of our economy".

And new shadow chancellor Ms Reeves said
she was "honoured" to take on the job,
tweeting: "Our economic recovery must be fair.
We must transform lives and back businesses
in every part of our country."

Sir Keir is facing criticism after losing control
of eight councils in his first test at the
ballot box since becoming leader last April.]
