    The comments are worth a read although a lot just repeat the same mantra over and again. Just been looking through Kiers choices in his first cabinet. Some of the job titles are bewildering for a start, shadow minister for cultural industries to name but one. And some of his choices....

    Didn’t exactly have a massive talent pool to pick from to be fair.

    The cupboards on both sides of the divide have been empty for some time, those barrels bottoms have been truly scraped.

    The last thing Labour need are decisive, controversial figures in senior roles. Not sure why you’d appointment Naz Shah in a role dedicated to ‘community cohesion’ given her history in politics.

    The promotion to the shadow cabinet is a surprise although being Labour they have to show they have a balanced party male & female on the front bench, Community Cohesion she has history with regards anti-semitism and grooming gangs, not the best thought out appointment.

    More reason to make sure the appointment in this case Community Cohesion the precipitant does not have history no matter how much shes apologise in the past for her comments.

    I was agreeing with your post, limited talent if that's the case make sure an appointment like this does not leave Starmer wide open to criticism, as we know its dog eat dog in modern politics.
    Unlike you to be facetious :).

    Looks like a Tory government for the next few decades with appointments like that. She can hardly string a sentence together.

    I think he is probably referring to an internal report they were preparing for the EHRC. Apparently it shows that behind the scenes there were factions working against JC. Now not sure why that is a surprise when it was obvious the party was split.

    Also not surprising that the report done by someone JC appointed found people were working against him and everything he did was ok.

    strangely they have decide not to send the report to EHRC as they would have published it

    Ah Aaron Bastani, another who doesn't understand the concept of you can shout as much as you want but if you ain't in power you're completely irrelevant. I knew the Labour Party was fractured but even I didn't think it was this bad, its beyond repair. They'll still be infighting at the next general election.

    Indeed.

    If I was an MP I would be off twitter faster than @Fordy117@Fordy117 can wash my car.

    That gift that keeps on giving? Never stops. Starmer has his work cut out ridding the party of its past. One day they'll work out how this stuff works.

    Labour, the gift that never fails to keep on giving. What is it with this once proud political party, now just a bunch of bat shit crazy career politicians.
