Opposition frontbench of Kemi Badenoch

The frontbench of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition in the Parliament of the United Kingdom consists of the Shadow cabinet and other shadow ministers of the political party currently serving as the Official Opposition. Since 2024, His Majesty's Loyal Opposition is the Conservative Party, and the Leader of the Opposition is Kemi Badenoch.

Formation and changes

The full shadow cabinet was announced on 5 November 2024. Junior appointments were made on 6 November. On 18 November it was confirmed that all of the 26 new Conservative MPs elected at the 2024 general election were given positions in opposition. On 20 November, the full frontbench team was confirmed.

On 22 July 2025, a Conservative party spokesperson announced that there would be a frontbench reshuffle, with James Cleverly set to return to the frontbench in a "prominent" role. The reshuffle had initially expected to involve small changes, though the BBC later reported that there would be a bigger change to the frontbench.
