Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn has appointed Maria Eagle as shadow culture secretary. Eagle, formerly the shadow defence secretary, replaces Michael Dugher, who has been sacked.
Eagle, who has in the past said she supports the renewal of the Trident nuclear deterrent, has been replaced as defence secretary by Emily Thornberry. Thornberry is, like Corbyn, against Trident.
Eagle is yet to comment on her new position.
Speaking about losing the culture job, Dugher told the BBC he had “paid the price” for speaking out in defence of colleagues whose reputations he claimed had been "trashed" by aides to Mr Corbyn.
He said: “I decided to speak out a number of days ago because what we've seen in recent weeks is a number of good hardworking loyal members of the shadow cabinet being systematically trashed, in terms of their reputations, in their newspapers by people in the employment of Jeremy Corbyn.
"It was de-stabilising and I felt it was right to speak out about that and I appear to have paid the price for that. But I don't regret it for one second."
Eagle has also previously been the shadow secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs under former Labour Party leader Ed Miliband and lists transport, housing and employment as her political interests.
