Jeremy Corbyn assumed the position of Leader of the Opposition after being elected as leader of the Labour Party on 12 September 2015; the election was triggered by Ed Miliband's resignation following the Labour Party's electoral defeat at the 2015 general election when David Cameron formed a majority Conservative government. The usual number of junior shadow ministers were also appointed.
Corbyn appointed his first Shadow Cabinet in September 2015. He appointed John McDonnell as Shadow Chancellor and promoted several female backbenchers, forming a Shadow Cabinet that for the first time had more women than men. He appointed Tom Watson as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party and John McDonnell as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. A small reshuffle occurred on 5 January 2016, with one further resignation on 11 January 2016. Dozens of further resignations occurred on 26 and 27 June 2016.[1]
The cabinet was reshuffled following the 2017 and 2019 general elections.
