Corbyn under fire over 's*** jobs' for women: New Labour leader is accused of handing senior roles to men as he unveils his 'unifying' shadow cabinet

Jeremy Corbyn chairs first meeting of his shadow cabinet

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn (centre) today boasted that he had assembled a 'unifying' frontbench team from the wreckage of the shadow cabinet walkout triggered by his extraordinary leadership victory. As he plotted how to take Labour dramatically to the left, he claimed the 'dynamic, inclusive' team would for the 'first time ever' have a majority of women. But he faced immediate criticism for handing all the roles shadowing the great offices of state to men - including IRA sympathiser John McDonnell and defeated leadership contender Andy Burnham. But Mr Corbyn championed (left to right) new shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander, shadow minister for young people and voter registration Gloria de Piero, shadow mental health minister Luciana Berger and shadow international development secretary Diane Abbott.

During Mr Corbyn's election campaign, Mr McDonnell - acting as his campaign chief - set out a £10bn plan to scrap all tuition fees and restore student maintenance.
