Shadow cabinet to be announced within the hour.....(according to Sky)
This should be interesting.
It won't be a Shadow Cabinet, so much as an anarcho-syndicalist commune.This should be interesting.
They'll take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
Obviously, all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more strategic matters.

I've just watched Dianne Abbott on the ITV - I find it utterly depressing that a as a result of Corbyn's 50/50 policy she will likely have a seat in the shadow cabinet and we will have to listen to her vacuous ramblings.
The press will have a field day with her if she is, she's produced enough rope to hang herself with in the past.REALIST123 said:

John McDonnell is the Shadow Chancellor.
who once said - A London Labour MP has sparked outrage by saying IRA terrorists should be "honoured" for taking part in their "armed struggle".
John McDonnell, member for Hayes and Harlington, made his remarks at a gathering in London to commemorate the IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands, according to the Sun.
The MP praised the "bravery" of the IRA, whose "bombs and bullets" had resulted, he said, in the peace process in Northern Ireland.

Wasn't the appointment of Shadow Chancellor meant to be a portent of things to come? With McDonnell being the hard left appointment.Corbyn may have just put an important card on the table.

I follow Eric Joyce on twitter (not entirely sure why...), but somebody has tweeted him saying this is all his fault for getting drunk and having a fight in a Commons bar -
The causal linkage -
1) Fight, which led to
2) Resignation
3) Falkirk candidate selection, which led to
4) Union interference, which led to
5) Rule changes
6) Milliband resigns
7) Corbyn elected
Good old Eric.
