On 8 May 2021, Angela Rayner was sacked as Chair of the Labour Party and National Campaign Coordinator after the party's poor performance in the 2021 United Kingdom local elections. She was later moved to Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office on 9 May 2021. Also on 9 May 2021, Anneliese Dodds replaced Rayner as Chair[13] and removed from the role of Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. In turn, Rachel Reeves replaced Dodds as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer,[14] and so left the role she held, the Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, open for Rayner to be appointed to. Along with this, Opposition Chief Whip Nick Brown, left the Shadow Cabinet and was replaced with Opposition Deputy Chief Whip Alan Campbell.[15]
June 2021edit
On 22 June 2021, former MP and Starmer's political secretary Jenny Chapman (ennobled in 2020 as Baroness Chapman of Darlington), was made Shadow Minister of State, sitting in the shadow cabinet, to shadow David Frost, Lord Frost.
Starmer reshuffled his shadow cabinet the same week that Members of Parliament return to Westminster following their summer break.[17] The reshuffle was described as a promotion of those politically on the right of the party and giving the political right "complete control".[18][19]
