Badenoch, whose parents are Nigerian, has pledged to return the party to its founding principles and 'start afresh'. She declared it is time to 'get down to business' as she begins forming her shadow cabinet. She has appointed Rebecca Harris as Chief Whip, Mel Stride as Shadow Chancellor, Priti Patel as Shadow Foreign Secretary, and Robert Jenrick as Shadow Justice Secretary.
