Inside Kemi’s crumbling Tory party – Cleverly returns & Jenrick remains

The Commons is closing down for the summer, but Kemi Badenoch has treated us to a shadow cabinet reshuffle. At the beginning of the year, Badenoch’s team were keen to stress stability, dismissing talk of an early reshuffle. But, as so often in politics, events have forced her hand. Ed Argar, the shadow health secretary, had a health scare earlier this summer. He has today stepped back from the frontbench to focus on his recovery. Badenoch is therefore using his departure as the chance to make what she calls ‘a few changes to my frontbench.’ The headline is that Sir James Cleverly, former foreign and home secretary, is returning to the front bench as shadow housing secretary. Is his new position designed to take on Angela Rayner? And what's Badenoch planning to do about the Jenrick question? Lucy Dunn speaks to Michael Gove and Tim Shipman. // CHAPTERS 00:00 – Shadow cabinet reshuffle: who’s in, who’s out 01:00 – James Cleverly’s return and leadership ambitions 05:00 – Why the reshuffle happened now 07:20 – Reform threat and defections in Wales 11:10 – Economic message and future battles 13:27 – What the new frontbench reveals about Kemi’s plan // SUBSCRIBE TO THE SPECTATOR Get 12 issues for £12, plus a free £20 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher https://www.spectator.co.uk/tvoffer // FREE PODCASTS FROM THE SPECTATOR Hear more from The Spectator's journalists on their podcasts, covering everything from the politics of the UK, US and China, to religion, literature, lifestyle and more. https://www.spectator.co.uk/podcasts/ // FOLLOW US   / spectator     / officialspectator     / the-spectator     / spectator1828     / thespectatormagazine
