Not that he has done much, probably less than actual secretary of states but Owen Smith has been sacked as the Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary tonight.
It appears he had a view on Brexit and the effect it will have on Northern Ireland that was not in line with that of Jeremy Corbyn. He will be replaced by Rochdale MP Tony Lloyd, the current shadow secretary for housing. The fact he is a MP from Rochdale is quite alarming.

Owen Smith
@OwenSmith_MP
Just been sacked by @jeremycorbyn for my long held views on the damage #Brexit will do to the Good Friday Agreement & the economy of the entire U.K. Those views are shared by Labour members & supporters and I will continue to speak up for them, and in the interest of our country.
