In British politics, the Shadow Home Secretary is the person within the shadow cabinet who 'shadows' the Home Secretary; this effectively means scrutinising government policy on home affairs including policing, national security, immigration, the criminal justice system, the prison service, and matters of citizenship. If and when the opposition party is elected to government, the Shadow Home Secretary often becomes the new Home Secretary though this is not always the case. The present Shadow Home Secretary is Yvette Cooper.
