Has Kemi Badenoch formed a unity cabinet?

14 min listen

Kemi Badenoch’s shadow cabinet continues to take shape: Chris Philp has been appointed shadow Home Secretary, with the biggest news being Robert Jenrick’s decision to accept the position of shadow Justice Secretary. Jenrick’s proposal to leave the ECHR was one policy disagreement with Badenoch, could this cause the Conservatives problems in the future? And what do her appointments say more broadly about her programme: has she put party unity above policy?

Oscar Edmondson speaks to Katy Balls and the FT’s Stephen Bush.

Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.
