Keir Starmer faces tensions following party reshuffle over demotion of Lisa Nandy

with suggestions the decision makes Labour look like it is not taking housing seriously as a result.

On the first day back from summer recess, Labour leader Sir Keir rejigged his top team and handed Ms Rayner, deputy leader, the post of Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Deputy Prime Minister. Countering accusations that Sir Keir had favoured “Blairites” for his shadow cabinet, they dismissed the idea as “simplistic nonsense”.
