Sarah Champion unresigns as Labour Shadow Minister in letter to Jeremy Corbyn

Sarah Champion has unresigned and been reinstated as a Shadow Home Office Minister.

...

A spokesperson for Jeremy Corbyn confirmed her retraction had been accepted and she had been reinstated.

...

The spokesperson went on to suggest this could be more than one unresignation - perhaps growing into a deshuffle.

They said: "We hope that others will rejoin the shadow cabinet and get on with the job of opposing Government."

I'd seen online rumours over the past week that moves like this were going on behind the scenes. And yes, "deshuffle" may find its way into this year's OED update.

In all seriousness though, Sarah Champion should be an asset to the Labour front bench. She has had to do a lot of hard work on child sex abuse problems in her constituency. An issue made a lot worse by past actions of her own constituency party!
