The
Official Loyal Opposition Shadow Cabinet (usually known simply as the 'Shadow Cabinet') is, in British parliamentary practice, senior members of
Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition who scrutinise their corresponding
ministers in the
Government, develop alternative policies, and hold the Government to account for its actions and responses. Since May 2010, the
Labour Party has been Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, and its leadership therefore forms the current
Shadow Cabinet.
