For immediate use
The New Shadow Cabinet
Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, said:
“I am delighted with my new Shadow Cabinet, drawn from a broad range of talents across our party.
“My team is united in one central mission for the future – to win back the trust of the British people and take Labour back to power.
“Together, this new generation of Labour will work together to reject the pessimism of this coalition government as we set out our vision of what Britain can achieve. Our values are those of the British people, and this Shadow Cabinet will ensure that the hopes and concerns of working families are at the heart of our offer to the country.”
