Oct 15, 2013 10:54 BST Who is on the UK shadow energy team?

Last week we wrote a run-down of who was who at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Also last week, Labour leader decided to re-shuffle his own energy team to provide a new balance to the Tory/Liberal Democrat ran DECC.

Caroline Flint (pictured) has been the shadow energy minister since October 2011, the position that directly shadows Ed Davey. She is already well-known for resigning in 2009 because of disagreements with Gordon Brown's leadership style, and then being re-elected in 2010. She is currently an MP for Don Valley in South Yorkshire which has always been represented by a Labour MP since 1922. She has held various ministerial positions in the Labour front bench such as Minister for Public Health, Minister for Employment, Minister for Housing and Planning, as well as Minister for Europe.

Tom Greatrex Tom is a Scottish MP who was voted into the House of Commons in 2010. When he was first voted in he became a member of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, which he stepped down from later that year. When Ed Miliband became leader he was appointed Shadow Scotland Office Minister until 2011 when he was asked by Ed Miliband to become Shadow Energy Minister with policy responsibility for oil and gas, electricity market reform, renewables, National Grid, and related issues.

Jonathan Reynolds Jonathon Reynolds is one of the newest members of the shadow energy team after Miliband's recent re-shuffle. He also became an MP during the 2010 election and originally took up a position as a Whip before serving as Parliamentary Private Secretary. He represents the Stanlybridge and Hyde First constituency in Greater Manchester.

Julie Elliott Julie is another MP who was appointed to join Miliband's team last week as a shadow minister. Like two of the other MP's in the committee she was also elected during the 2010 election. Prior to her election Julie was still involved in politics and worked as a Labour Party Organiser alongside her work with the trade union GMB and the National Asthma Campaign.

Baroness Bryony Worthington Like the coalition's DECC, Labour's energy team also have a voice in the House of Lords. Bryony has a career behind her which specialises in climate change and sustainable energy having previously worked at Friends of the Earth and SSE. She was made a Labour peer in 2010 and is a founder of sandbag.co.uk, a climate change action group which focuses on changing economic systems in order to fight climate change.
