UK's Labour Party leader Keir Starmer undertook a major reshuffle of the party's shadow cabinet on Tuesday, demoting two senior Indian-origin MPs - Lisa Nandy and Preet Kaur Gill. Nandy was removed from her role as shadow foreign secretary and appointed to the levelling up brief, while Gill was demoted from shadow international development secretary to a backbench position. The reshuffle marks a shift in the diversity profile of Labour's top team under Starmer. Both Nandy and Gill accepted their demotions gracefully, reiterating support for the leader. The move is seen as Starmer stamping his authority and shaping the shadow cabinet to gear up for the next general election.
