Labour's Shadow Pensions Minister has resigned after just eight months in the job.
Jill Furniss has left the post for "personal reasons", a Labour spokesperson said.
She was appointed Shadow Pensions Minister in September 2023, meaning she was in the role for just eight months.
An appointment to replace her will be made in due course, GB News understands.

Furniss previously served as the Shadow Transport Minister.
A Labour spokesperson told GB News: "We can confirm that Gill Furniss has stepped down from her position as Shadow Pensions Minister due to personal reasons".
Last week, the Labour Party committed to keeping the pensions triple lock for at least five years if it wins the election.

The triple lock guarantees that the state pension will rise by at least the rate of inflation, earnings growth, or 2.5 per cent every year.
In November, Furniss's constituency office was targeted by pro-Palestine protesters.
This came after the Sheffield, Brightside and Hillsborough MP obeyed Labour’s three-line whip ordering MPs to abstain on a pro-ceasefire motion put forward by the SNP.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Labour is currently polling more than 20 points ahead of the Tories, and is on course for a significant election victory.
A poll conducted by Ipsos last week showed Sunak's personal satisfaction rating had fallen to -59, matching John Major's 1994 record low for a prime minister.
Only 16 per cent of people said they were satisfied with Sunak’s performance, while 75 per cent said they were dissatisfied.
An MRP poll by YouGov earlier this year showed that the Conservative Party is on course for a worse defeat than that seen by Major in 1997, with eleven cabinet ministers at risk of losing their seats.
The YouGov poll shows that Labour would take 403 seats, while the Tories would be reduced to 155 seats.
