Kemi Badenoch appoints Chris Philp as shadow dwelling secretary

Kemi Badenoch has appointed Chris Philp as the new shadow home secretary as she announced her shadow cabinet. 

Other significant appointments include James Cartlidge as shadow defence secretary, Ed Argar as shadow health secretary and Andrew Griffith as shadow business and trade secretary.

They will join Mel Stride who is shadow chancellor, Dame Priti Patel who is shadow foreign secretary and Robert Jenrick who is shadow justice secretary. 

However, there is no role for Tom Tugendhat, another of Mrs Badenoch’s Tory leadership rivals, while James Cleverly had already ruled himself out of staying on the frontbench. The shadow cabinet met for this first time this morning.
