Tom Tugendhat is not serving in Kemi Badenoch’s shadow cabinet as the new Tory leader continued her appointments today.
Former Home Office minister Chris Philp has been awarded the job of shadow home secretary, the last of the key posts to be announced.
Unveiling a host of announcements today, Ms Badenoch, who was elected leader of the Conservative Party last weekend, confirmed that Ed Argar would be the shadow health secretary, while James Cartlidge will take on the role of shadow defence secretary.
Yesterday Dame Priti Patel made a comeback to frontline politics after Ms Badenoch appointed her as shadow foreign secretary.
Former shadow work and pensions secretary Mel Stride, who ran in the Tory leadership race and is considered more of a moderate than Ms Badenoch, was also made shadow chancellor.
The move has been interpreted as Ms Badenoch making an effort to unite the party following its bruising election defeat.
Robert Jenrick, who lost out to Ms Badenoch in the Tory leadership race, is the new shadow justice secretary, while earlier in the day, Laura Trott, who previously served as chief secretary to the Treasury, was appointed shadow education secretary.
