General Election and 30 October 2010, I received £27,867 in salary." Dromey apologised to the House of Commons on 19 January 2012, in relation to this mistake. He supported Owen Smith in the failed attempt to replace Jeremy Corbyn in the 2016 Labour leadership election. Dromey retained his seat in the 2019 general election; although his majority fell to ten percentage points, he won more than 50 per cent of the vote. In January 2021, Dromey moved to the Shadow Cabinet Office team, led by Rachel Reeves, as Shadow Paymaster General. In December 2021, during the reshuffle of the shadow ministerial team, he became Shadow Minister for Immigration.
