Emily Thornberry Dropped as New Ministers Announced
Long-Time Shadow Cabinet Minister Emily Thornberry axed from new government
Long-standing shadow cabinet minister Emily Thornberry has been left out of the new ministerial team. The Islington South and Finsbury MP had been shadow foreign secretary since 2016.
Emily Thornberry is a British Labour Party politician. She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Islington South and Finsbury since 2005. Thornberry was born in Guildford in 1960. When she was seven, her father left and the family spent many years on benefits.
Thornberry was the first MP to enter the race to be the Labour Party's next leader. In 2020 she announced her candidacy just four days after Jeremy Corbyn announced he would be stepping down. However, she was unsuccessful in her bid to become leader. Keir Starmer was elected as the new Labour leader in April 2020.
