It’s been a bit of a struggle for the Conservatives to capture much attention since last year’s election – but that could change today.
Leader Kemi Badenoch has carried out a mini reshuffle in her shadow cabinet after Edward Argar,who was shadowing Health Secretary Wes Streeting,announced he was stepping down for health reasons.
He’s been replaced by shadow culture secretary Stuart Andrew,who is in turn replaced by Conservative co-chairman Nigel Huddleston.
The biggest new arrival is Sir James Cleverly,who’ll shadow Deputy PM Angela Rayner for her housing brief after he dramatically lost a spot in the final two of the Tory leadership race last year.
But with Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggesting Reform are the real opposition,and with the party consistently third in the polls,we wanted to check just how well people know the current shadow cabinet.
