London sources have stated that Preet Kaur Gill, Britain's first woman Sikh Member of Parliament (MP) has been appointed as the Shadow Cabinet by the Opposition Labor party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Accordingly the Shadow Cabinet is the team of senior parliamentarians chosen by the Leader of the Opposition to mirror the Cabinet in Government.
Sources have stated that each member is appointed to lead on a specific policy area for their party and to question and challenge their counterpart in the Cabinet. Meanwhile Ms Gill, 44, won her Birmingham Edgbaston seat for the Labor party in the June 8 snap polls last year. Moreover she was promoted to the post of shadow minister for international development in Mr Corbyn's New Year reshuffle of what he brands as a "government-in-waiting".
Previously British Prime Minister Theresa May had announced a reshuffle of
her top team leading to the appointment of three new Indian origin MPs Rishi
Sunak, Suella Fernandes and Shailesh Vara to junior ministerial posts.
