Wolverhampton MP given key General Election role in Sir Keir Starmer's Labour reshuffle
Wolverhampton South East MP Pat McFadden has been promoted in Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's long awaited shadow cabinet reshuffle.
Mr McFadden has been given the pivotal role of being national campaign co-ordinator ahead of next year's historic General Election.
The former shadow Treasury chief secretary, who has represented his constituency since 2005, has also been appointed shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, which is the second highest ranking member of the cabinet.
Mr McFadden told the Express & Star his party's leader phoned him this morning offering him the two positions.
He said: "I am very pleased with the position of national election co-ordinator. I look forward to working with my different Labour colleagues from across the country in the role."
Labour supporters will be hoping Mr McFadden can help return them to power and end the Conservatives' 13-year grip on power.
Mr McFadden said: "The next election comes at a very important time for the country. And I hope to help Labour chart a course to ensure we will be in a position to make a positive change for the country."
