The MP for Stretford and Urmston was appointed by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer following the sacking of Rebecca Long-Bailey last week after she shared an article containing an “anti-semitic conspiracy theory” on Twitter.
Green was the boss at CPAG from 2004-09, before being elected to Parliament in 2010. She was also director of the National Council for One Parent Families between 2000-04 and chair of the London Child Poverty Commission from 2006-09.
