Ms Dodds, 42, has been the MP for Oxford East since 2017 and also served as MEP for the South East England region from 2014-2017.
She has been appointed Shadow Chancellor.

We must all now pull together in the face of unprecedented economic circumstances. So many people are struggling like never before. Others are serving selflessly to keep public services and supply chains going. I will do all I can to support them. 2/2

I want to thank my predecessor as Shadow Home Secretary, @HackneyAbbott, for all her support and acts of kindness towards me in my role as a Shadow Home Office Minister over the past three years, and to thank all her staff, including her advisers Mick & @BellRibeiroAddy (now MP!)
