Rachel Reeves has been named shadow chancellor after Anneliese Dodds was sacked from the role late on Sunday night.
The move came as part of a reshuffle of Labour leader Keir Starmer’s top team after a host of miserable results in Thursday’s local and mayoral elections.

A Texas county’s Democratic Party is refusing to accept the resignation of Lamar County Democratic Party Chairman Gary O’Connor, who announced he would step down after calling Sen. Tim Scott an “oreo with no real principles.”
O’Connor, who is white, made the comment in a Facebook post after the GOP senator’s rebuttal to President Biden’s address to Congress last week.
He later apologized for using the “racist term” against the black South Carolina Republican.
“It was insensitive and I have embarrassed myself and my party by its use,” O’Connor’s statement read.
