Jeremy Corbyn announces new shadow cabinet

Calendar's political correspondent Paul Brand takes a look at who is in ..... and who is out from the region in the new shadow cabinet:

Jeremy Corbyn's claims his top team is 'unifying, dynamic, inclusive', but is it northern? Yorkshire grew used to virtually running the Labour party under Ed Miliband, now it seems our influence is waning.

Until yesterday, around half of Labour's top team were from our region. Now, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves, Dan Jarvis, Mary Creagh and Caroline Flint are all gone. Experienced names, all lost in a weekend. And that's not to forget the departure of Ed Miliband and Ed Balls in May.

Yorkshire keeps its influence through the Leeds MP Hilary Benn, who stays as shadow Foreign Secretary, and Barnsley's Michael Dugher, who moves from transport to culture, media and sport.

There's the new addition of Hemsworth's Jon Trickett, whose support for Jeremy Corbyn is rewarded with the post of shadow Communities and Local Government secretary.

Then there's Doncaster's Rosie Winterton, who had the unenviable task of pulling together this team in her continuing role as Chief Whip.

So Yorkshire retains significant influence. But this isn't like the Miliband days. Yorkshire has the ear of the Labour party, but it doesn't run it any longer.

Jeremy Corbyn has completed his shadow cabinet appointments, amid controversy about the lack of women in key posts.

Announcing the full list of appointments, the Labour leader said “We have delivered a unifying, dynamic, inclusive new shadow cabinet which for the first time ever has a majority of women."

The Don Valley MP Caroline Flint has announced she is returning to the backbenches - where she says she can best support the Labour Party and the leadership.

Ms Flint, who had campaigned to be deputy leader, said she had waited to announce her decision until after key Shadow Cabinet appointments had been made public, as a courtesy to Jeremy Corbyn and his new team.

Hull North MP Diana Johnson has attacked Jeremy Corbyn for failing to promote any women to the top shadow cabinet positions. Ms Johnson said she was disappointed by the male-dominated top team named by Jeremy Corbyn after the announcement of Andy Burnham, John McDonnell and Hilary Benn to key positions.

Mr Corbyn had promised that 50% of his shadow cabinet would be made up of women but Ms Johnson described the appointments as "very disappointing".

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed new members of his shadow cabinet. They include Leeds Central MP Hilary Benn, who stays on as Shadow Foreign Secretary.

Andy Burnham has been confirmed as the new Shadow Home Secretary, with long-term Corbyn ally John McDonnell named as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Falconer, Angela Eagle and Heidi Alexander have also been confirmed as members of the shadow cabinet.
