Britain's opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn speaks at an anti-racism rally in London
Sue Hayman joins the front bench as shadow environment secretary after the resignation of Rachael Maskell, while Christina Rees becomes shadow Wales secretary, replacing Jo Stevens.
No replacement has been announced for Dawn Butler as shadow communities minister, though it is not thought the role is being abolished.
A Conservative spokesman said: “This is Jeremy Corbyn’s fourth reshuffle and still nothing has changed.
“Labour remains completely out of touch with the concerns of ordinary, working people.”
Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn slammed stories of his imminent resignation as Labour leader. On BBC Breakfast, he said: “I’m really surprised the BBC is reporting fake news. There is no news.”
