The Westminster Labour Group has today announced its new Shadow Cabinet team, which will lead the Opposition’s work in holding the Conservative administration to account and continuing to champion a Fairer Westminster for residents across the city.
The new Shadow Cabinet team is:
- Councillor Ellie Ormsby – Leader of the Opposition
- Councillor Robert Eagleton – Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Renters
- Councillor Aicha Less – Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Cabinet Member for Public Protection, Children and Young People
- Councillor Nafsika Butler-Thalassiss – Opposition Whip and Shadow Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Public Health and Communities
- Councillor Concia Albert – Shadow Cabinet Member for Housing Services
- Councillor David Boothroyd – Shadow Cabinet Member for Finance and Innovation
- Councillor Iman Less – Shadow Cabinet Member for Climate and Ecology
- Councillor Rhys Thomas – Shadow Cabinet Member for City Management and Streets
- Councillor Geoff Barraclough – Shadow Cabinet Member for Growth, Planning and Culture
- Councillor Liza Begum – Opposition Scrutiny Spokesperson
Councillor Ellie Ormsby, Leader of the Westminster Labour Group: “I am proud to announce our new Shadow Cabinet team, which brings together experienced and passionate councillors from across Westminster Labour.
Each member of this team brings energy, expertise and commitment to the issues that matter most to local people, and together we will continue fighting for a Fairer Westminster.
I am appalled that the new Conservative administration has chosen not to appoint a Cabinet Member for Climate Action. Cllr Swaddle’s decision to remove senior political leadership from this agenda is deeply concerning and shows the Conservatives are totally out of touch with the urgency of the climate crisis and the expectations of residents across Westminster.”
