Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner has been given the job of Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities – she will face Michael Gove in debates on the Renters Reform Bill.

Rayner – who now also carries the title of Shadow Deputy Prime Minister – replaces Lisa Nandy, who is regarded as having failed to make an impression in the rental sector debates of recent years.

Nandy had been Shadow Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities since 2021.

There has been an extensive reshuffle of many other senior Labour positions too, ahead of an expected General Election next year. You can see the full details on the BBC News website here.
