Barry Gardiner has been appointed as the new Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary.

Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn made the announcement after Lisa Nandy said she was resigning from her post yesterday.

Mr Gardiner served alongside Ms Nandy in the Shadow DECC team.

He was previously appointed to the front bench as Labour’s Shadow Minister for the Natural Environment and Fisheries in 2013.
