Gordon Brown Successor Lesley Laird Given Shadow Cabinet Post In Labour Reshuffle

The newly-elected Labour MP in Gordon Brown’s former seat has been appointed Shadow Scottish Secretary. 
Former Fife Council deputy leader Lesley Laird wrestled power from the SNP’s Roger Mullin in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, the ex-PM’s constituency.
Jeremy Corbyn announced her appointment as Shadow Secretary of State on Wednesday, along with that of former leadership rival Owen Smith, who will return to the frontbench to take over the Northern Ireland brief.
