Shadow Cabinet
The Official Opposition (the non-government party with the largest number of elected members of Parliament — currently the Labour Party) is headed by the Shadow Cabinet and is supported by numerous junior opposition frontbenchers.
The Liberal Democrats, as the only other party with a large number of seats, used to call their leadership while in opposition the Liberal Democrat Frontbench Team, but during the last Labour government, they started to use the term 'Shadow Cabinet'.

“Fences, unlike punishments, clearly mark out the perimeters of any specified territory. Young children learn where it is permissible to play, because their backyard fence plainly outlines the safe area. They learn about the invisible fence that surrounds the stove, and that Grandma has an invisible barrier around her cabinet of antique teacups.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
