Andrew Griffith is to become shadow chancellor as part of a reshuffle of the Conservative shadow cabinet led by Kemi Badenoch.
The change means Sir Mel Stride has been replaced in one of the party’s senior frontbench roles. Griffith will take over the brief following the reorganisation of Badenoch’s top team.
The move forms part of a wider reshuffle of the Conservatives’ shadow cabinet, although no further appointments or changes were detailed in the supplied material.
Stride had held the shadow chancellor post before the reshuffle. Griffith’s appointment places him in the role as the party adjusts its senior team under Badenoch’s leadership.
The latest confirmed position is that Griffith will take over from Stride as shadow chancellor, with the reshuffle marking a change at the top of the Conservative frontbench.
