Another notable name in Mr Gray’s team is Mhairi Black MP, who will be combining the role of spokesperson for Pensions with those of Youth Affairs and Disabilities.

Mr Gray said: “I am delighted that SNP Group leader Ian Blackford MP has asked me to lead the Inclusion and Wellbeing Team at Westminster.

“I have a fantastic group of MPs working alongside me and I know we will do everything in our power to hold this uncaring and outdated Tory Government to account.

“Being spokesperson for DWP issues will enable me to put the many shocking experiences of my constituents at the heart of Westminster debates, and show this morally unjust government exactly how its policies are affecting people who rely on benefits.”
