Shami Chakrobati now Shadow Attorney General in Corbyn reshuffle

Every time I see her now, I'll be thinking 'Miss Whiplash'...

It doesn't bear thinking about, that's why not!

Oh Ana , why not ?

Ooh, Annie, surely not...?

You are soooooo naive Ana

Rosie as a dominatrix ? Nah, someone does come to mind - I couldn't possible say

Strange how Rosie Winterton could do the job for five years for the previous leader yet only a year for the present leader, some may lay the blame on the new leader - I couldn't possibly say

I thought they literally had whips! Could just see Rosie Winterton as a dominatrix...

And I always thought the whips were there to make ice cream , yes naive not to realise a fictional tv programme was fact,

Come to think of it , 'Yes Minster ' has come to mind ,

OMG are you really all so naive? Have you not watched "The Thick of It"? Do you really not know that chief whips are the dark side of politics? That Blair had not only a Chief Whip to keep the MPs in line but Alistair Campbell, supposedly the most abusive person in politics, to step on them. Rosie Winterton should have stamped down hard and stopped the MPs conspiring against Corbyn before it got to anyone resigning. She didn't. Neither did the other whips. If someone fails to do a job they get sacked, doesn't matter how long they have been in post. And don't imagine that it is just Labour and Corbyn who behave like this Conservative Whips do exactly the same.

I am sure they will Ana, I spoke to an MP today but seems he isn't in the know

Strangely, there only seems to be vague mention of 'another job'. Perhaps someone more in the know can tell us.

Corbyn said at the conference he wanted the party to work together, to unit , then starts to form his new shadow cabinet on the sly

What post was Rosie Winterton offered after she had been sacked ?

Rosie Winterton has been in the post for six years, Nick Brown for one year

Rosie Winterton was on Corbyns hit list which was released earlier this year !

Failed to do the job trisher .....( jaw drops in utter amazement) Do you imagine all the members of the shadow cabinet who resigned earlier this year also did so because they knew they weren't up to it? Corbyn only wants yes men and women around.

It all sounds very draconian - keep 'em in line OR ELSE!

Jalima you have to laugh eh?

To elaborate I would imagine Nick Brown called them in and told them what he expected of them and they decided they couldn't do it, so they resigned. He's an experienced whip so he would be very clear about his requirements.

Responding to a question with three questions. Cheap trick.

oh, come on djen! You can't be serious!

How often? ..... oh never mind

Responding to a question with three questions. Cheap trick.

New boss, new staff. It often happens.

So he will now have unity with the new whip? How come two whips resigned following the appointment of the new chief whip? Will he now sack the new chief whip?

Rosie Winterton plainly and obviously failed to do her job when Corbyn was first elected leader. The job of a whip is to make sure the MPs stay in line and support the leader. She couldn't do it. Like most people who fail to do a job she was sacked, where's the problem?

Jen, I did not rant , what a cheap trick to avoid a question

Pointless, Annie. Once again you have turned a thread into an anti-Corbyn rant.

Again you replied to a question with a question Jen, do you support Hatton and .galloway?
