- On Monday, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch launched a major shadow cabinet reshuffle, replacing shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride with Andrew Griffith to address performance concerns ahead of the October conference.

- On Sunday, Tom Tugendhat replaced Dame Priti Patel as shadow foreign secretary; Claire Coutinho will serve as deputy to Griffith and shadow business secretary, while Richard Fuller will oversee fiscal discipline.
