Hull MP 'disappointed' at lack of women in shadow cabinet

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".
