Cleverly Set to Return to Tory Front Bench as Shadow Housing Secretary

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 22 – Sir James Cleverly returns to a senior shadow cabinet role to challenge Labour on housing after Edward Argar's health-related resignation amid Conservative struggles in polls and local elections.

  • Kemi Badenoch, Conservative leader since November 2024, reshuffled her shadow cabinet on Tuesday, bringing back Sir James Cleverly as shadow housing secretary.
  • The reshuffle follows Edward Argar's resignation as shadow health secretary for health reasons and allows Badenoch greater freedom to reorganize her team.
  • Sir James Cleverly, former foreign secretary and leadership contender, will challenge Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner on housing, communities, and local government issues.
  • Robert Jenrick stays as shadow justice secretary while Kevin Hollinrake moves to party chairman and Neil O'Brien joins as shadow minister for policy renewal.
  • Observers say the reshuffle mainly ensures all posts are filled and will not dramatically alter the Conservative Party's fortunes amid ongoing struggles since the 2024 defeat.
