Jeremy Corbyn has promoted a string of fresh faces to his top team - days after he sacked three shadow ministers over a Brexit rebellion.

A total of 20 new and returning MPs will join the Labour frontbench team, including some who resigned in the row over Jeremy Corbyn ’s leadership last Spring.

Durham MP and Corbyn critic Roberta Blackman-Woods, who resigned at the same time, but rejoined the frontbench after his re-election, moves from Housing to International Development.

Former Deputy leader of the House Melanie Onn will return to the front bench as a Shadow Housing Minister.

Rachael Maskell resigned as a Shadow DEFRA minister to defy a three-line whip on the Article 50 vote in February. She returns as a Shadow Transport Minister.

And Yvonne Fovargue, who was a Shadow Business Minister until the June 2016 move against Corbyn’s leadership, returns as a local government minister.

Former Coronation Street actress Tracey Brabin, who was elected to replace murdered Labour MP Jo Cox, will join the team as Shadow Education Minister.

And Tony Lloyd, who was a minister in Tony Blair ’s government before losing his seat, returns to the front line as a Shadow Housing Minister after being re-elected to replace shamed ex-Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk.

Jeremy Corbyn said: “I’m delighted to be filling Labour’s shadow front bench with a wealth of talent. Our new shadow ministers will bolster the excellent work of Labour’s shadow cabinet and departmental teams.

“These appointments are further evidence that Labour is not just the opposition – we are the government in waiting.”

The mini-reshuffle comes after Corbyn sacked three Shadow Ministers - Ruth Cadbury and Andy Slaughter, both Shadow Ministers for Housing, and Shadow Foreign Office Minister Catherine West - after they voted for an amendment to the Queen’s Speech calling for Britain to remain in the European Single Market.

Shadow Transport Minister Daniel Zeichner “regretfully” resigned so he could defy orders to abstain on Chuka Umunna’s motion.
