Anneliese Dodds and Taiwo Owatemi take on roles, with others thought to have rejected jobs seen as a ‘poisoned chalice’
Labour has named its two new shadow women and equalities ministers, after facing difficulties trying to replace the previous team amid a row over the rights of people who identify as transgender.
The party chair, Anneliese Dodds, has become the new shadow secretary of state for women and equalities, with the Coventry North West MP Taiwo Owatemi taking on the shadow minister role.
