Edinburgh West MP Christine Jardine is the new Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Scotland, Women and Equalities and the Cabinet Office.

Her new role was confirmed on Monday as part of a reshuffle of the Liberal Democrats’ team, led by Ed Davey, MP for Kingston & Surbiton.

Speaking about her appointment, Ms Jardine said: “I am delighted to have responsibility for fighting for the two things that mean most to me: Scotland and equalities.

"Both face enormous challenges in the current political climate and I will make it my task to ensure those challenges are met.
