Sir Keir Starmer is expected to freshen up his top team today as MPs return to Westminster following the summer holidays.

The Labour leader looks set to make changes to his shadow cabinet as Sue Gray starts in her new role as his chief of staff.

Angela Rayner, the partys deputy leader, covers several briefs and is expected to have some of her jobs revised.
