Shami Chakrobati now Shadow Attorney General in Corbyn reshuffle

Ana, demands don't always get met though. He may want complete personal loyalty but I don't think he is getting it from at least a small number now operating on or near the Front Bench. We are in the long game now and 2020 is a while away. I posted that I thought he did better on PMQs this week but 'one swallow does not a summer make'. He needs to do that consistently and not just in the comfort zone of the Commons. Time to come out to convince those who did not support him, and the rest of the electorate.

Going back to the OP, I think Shami will perform well for us in both roles although I think she will have to work hard to convince us all of that.

I think you're right about this week's PMQs Devorgilla - wonder how much Seamus Milne had to do with that?

And yes, 2020 is a long way off, goodness knows what will have happened by then!

Yes, our plumber may even have come back to do the rest of the work that he promised.

Yes, what happened to the Green party anyway....is it still around? you never hear about it now
yes, where did the Australian leader go? She did not inspire me at all, least of all with any confidence.
If I ever thought of joining, she certainly changed my mind.

How old will Corbyn be in 2020? 74? I suppose there have been older leaders, at least one could say they are 'experienced'.

Shami has a few hurdles to jump. Pity, because I always had a lot of respect for her.

We have a city full of Greens. Us liberal, latte drinking elites.

He'll only be 71, nearly 72, in May 2020 Jalima - but will he last that long as leader?

whitewave I do hope you are not drinking your lattes from those non-recyclable cups

He probably will, but are you sure Ana?
Has he lost a couple of years somewhere, or perhaps I'm mistaken.

Oh hush your mouth jalima

All those rumours are true then whitewave

Those liberal, latte drinking, greenie voters are secret landfillers (sshhhhh)

I was angered Shami was elevated to the Lords being a very new member of the party plus the fact she and Corbyn are so against it. Now it is obvious it was a set up, she was chosen to be shadow Atourny General but didn't want to stand for parliament , so gets elevated to the lords and so into the shadow cabinet and the anti racism enquiry gets cleared up very quickly . So is she a committed far left member or does Baroness sit well , which ever I no longer consider her honest

Well, it rendered DH speechless which I must say takes some doing!

Eventually he managed to splutter that he had always respected her, if not always her views, but now - speechless again!

Baroness fits well with a son in a top public school

She's certainly gone down in my estimation - not that she;ll be bothered.

Jalima, according to Google he was born late May 1949.

AB, I too was disappointed she joined the Party just as she was doing an independent enquiry and then went on to accept the place in the Lords and Shadow Cabinet. Having said that, she is a bright lady and she knows her stuff on Human Rights and I think that will be her strength in the current Brexit Exit. She, and Starmer, will make a formidable team. I have to put aside my dislike of the way she got into those posts as we need someone of her expertise in the Lords to point out the pitfalls in the ongoing exit.

Yes Devo,I understand your views but wish the man of principle tag would cease, again to quote Margaret Hodge - I thought he was a decent man but he is a devious man , I so agree with her,

I always knew she was two faced. It was written all over it. Nasty piece of work imho.

I never thought that, I always admired her (if not always agreeing).
So disappointed.
But what we have come to expect I suppose.

This was written about her in the Independant some years ago.
^Aways shouting about everything and in favour of nothing, caring more for murderers than victims.
Sticking up for failed suicide bombers and defending the right of mad mullahs who incite hatred and want to destroy the British way of life. Her critics branded her "an anahcrist in a barristers wig"^

Corbyn the man of principle eho met the IRA and Hamas because he believes talks lead to peace has turned down an invite from the Israeli Labour Party leader to visit the Israeli holocaust museum, seems his diary was full ! Perhaps he had a momentum rally? He is such a damn hypocrite

Hypocrite indeed! I think these people don't only want to destroy the British way of life but to destroy Britain itself. Don't know about anyonelse, but I find Seamus Milne particularly chilling?!

Niggly, there is a group of them who believe communism is the way .

The Home Affairs Select committee has released it's findings into anti semitism in the Labour Party, not good
