The following appointments were unveiled at 8.30am:

• Shadow Foreign Secretary - Emily Thornberry

• Shadow Defence Secretary - Clive Lewis
• Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury - Rebecca Long-Bailey

However, more resignations followed; Shadow Foreign Minister Diana Johnson, Shadow Civil Society Minister Anna Turley, Shadow Defence Minister Toby Perkins, Shadow Cabinet Office, Scotland and Justice Minister Wayne David and Shadow Consumer Affairs and Science Minister Yvonne Fovargue have all resigned.
