Kemi Badenoch, recently confirmed as the leader of the Conservative Party, has appointed Rebecca Harris as the party’s chief whip, marking the start of her new shadow cabinet formation. Badenoch’s leadership is historic, as she is the first black woman to lead a major UK political party. While acknowledging previous mistakes that led to party losses, she emphasized unity and trust for the Conservatives moving forward. The formal announcements about her team are expected imminently, with a keen focus on meritocracy and party cohesion.
