Senior Tories urge Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick to settle differences

Leader names rival in shadow cabinet but announcement marred by leaks suggesting Jenrick wanted bigger job

Senior Conservatives have urged Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick to rapidly settle any differences after the unveiling of the full shadow cabinet was marred by briefings and concern over lingering rivalries.

Badenoch, who became leader after defeating Jenrick in a vote of Tory members, held her first shadow cabinet meeting on Tuesday, having named a team including three rival candidates, Jenrick among them, and a series of party centrists.
