The Spin

Right narrative

Despite several roles still to be confirmed, Badenoch's surprise move to appoint Patel, Stride, and Jenrick — three former leadership rivals — into the shadow cabinet shows a Conservative focus on a united future. As Laura Trott's inaugural outing as shadow education secretary on Monday evening showed, Badenoch's team is ready to both defend the party's government record and shape a new policy agenda fit for the future.

Left narrative

Badenoch has wasted no time in picking her shadow cabinet — a move that she may end up regretting given her already limited options following the Summer's electoral wipeout. Already viewed as a risky choice by the party, Badenoch must make sure that her combative style does not alienate the few Tory lawmakers that remain in Westminster. For better or for worse, if Badenoch is to survive as Tory leader she must accept the decisions she has now made.
