The new Labour Team

New Labour Leader Ed Miliband has a strong team in his first Shadow Cabinet.

Scotland is well represented in the shape of Douglas Alexander (Work and Pensions), Jim Murphy (Defence) and Ann McKechin (Scottish Secretary).

It is good to see so many women in the Shadow Cabinet. Forty-seven percent of the Shadow Cabinet are women in contrast to the actual cabinet, where only seventeen percent are women.

Labour's Shadow Cabinet is also younger than the Con Dem Coalition and less dominated by Oxbridge graduates.

I am confident that our new Labour Team will be a very effective opposition.
