Starmer not messing about, giving people new briefs to learn. He wants people who can hit the ground running from shadowing.
It's not exciting, but it is sensible. Very on brand.
Yes. And with the awareness that they only have a short interval now to make an impression before even a delayed recess. No messing about, all eyes on a 100-day list of wins.

11 women in the cabinet, (50%) at last.
All experienced MP's/in their field or as shadow ministers.
Plans to visit (not just call) the other 3 heads of UK this week, then on to the US to talk to Biden.
Excellent!
