Shami Chakrobati now Shadow Attorney General in Corbyn reshuffle

I've noticed that there's a trend amongst these particular labour MPs to blame their partners for the choice of school for their children!! As if that somehow exonerates them from any responsibility?!! I can't really believe that where you send your child to school can be the only issue to break up a marriage!!! Wonder why Shami couldn't manage Eton for her son and had to settle for Dulwich College?! Shame really, particularly as it's Nigel Farage's alma mater!!!

Thanks Petra, I agree with you, and not because I am anti Corbyn . I have said I was widowed young with two little girls, I was offered places for them in the Convent school, couldn't have afforded the fees and was not R C, it was an act of Christian love from the Nuns, I refused and my girls went to the Comp . Years later I was asked by the priest of the boys public school here - yes he was a friend to put my grandson forward to sit the scholarship exam , we refused .

Wife No. 2 may be glad now that she is the ex-Mrs C and out of the limelight.

As MIL used to say: 'Labour is all about "Do as I say and not as I do"' ie hypocritical.

Are these token appointments for the sake if diversity and equality or are they the best he could choose?

Annibach sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I meant Corbyn and all his fawning acolytes.

And Corbyn is surely the biggest hypocrite, he divorces wife no 2 for choosing a grammer school for their son and appoints Shami , Thornberry and Abbot into top positions in the shadow cabinet

I don't think the labour party know what hypocrisy is, mind you theirs just as much hypocrisy with the tories. I'm glad I don't have to make my mind up yet.

Rosesarered, TerriBull did say Labour not some in labour

Petra you are accusing all labour MP's fir the actions of a few . Emily Thornberry is such s hypocrite , when questioned in the labour conference on her choice of school for her children yet speaking out against grammer schools she said - I want the best fir my children and I want the best for everyone's children.

She is the MP who got into Ed Millibands bad books when she posted a photograph of a chaps house which had the English flag in the Windows

...and of course any others in the Labour Party who do it.

What the hell?! I did my degree a whole lifetime ago. Part of my studies included Diversity. Not women, not race, not gender type. Getting my drift. Is the Labour Party in some sort if time warp? The more you lable the more you highlight differences!

Am not accusing all ab just the ones in TerriBulls post.

TerriBull Of course they think it's ok, that's why they do it. But what they haven't woken up to yet because they are so wrapped up in their Westminster bubble, is that your average joe IS waking up to their opinion of us.

Rosesarered, you cannot accuse all labour MP's of hypocrisy because of a few, Labour Party is against grammer schools , that Shami tried to get her son into Eaton shouldn't reflect badly on all labour MP's

As did Emily Thornberry his shadow foreign secretary choose for her children

Just more hypocracy I feel ( the schools.)

"Surrounded by women" but yet to have one leading the party Slightly off subject, I notice two of his closest female acolytes, Shami and Diane Abbot opted for private education for their children, does Labour deem the private system preferable to grammar schools. I probably should have posted this on another thread somewhere or other, but just wondering.

I think Jezza likes to be surrounded by women, as he finds men to be too confrontational.

I thought it may be Big Dope.

Rudolph Valentino if it wasn't so pitiful it would be funny.
I do wish the media would stop stating that Diane abbot is his ex lover. The image in my head is not a pretty one.

With so many women surrounding him he seems more a Rudolph Valentino

No link?

'Labour MPs have yet to select a challenger to Corbyn in this trial, although several candidates have stepped forward including: Chukka ‘The Pain’ Ummuna, Tom ‘Big Daddy’ Watson and Yvette Cooper.
When approached for comment, Tony Blair stated: ‘I don’t care who wins the trial so long as the victor invades Iraq as their first act.’ '

Someone got the rumour wrong.

I don't know how to answer that as I've just returned from the pub.

Big 'D' is apparently Big Daddy Glamorous grey.

Still no wiser - should it not be big 'C' for Corbyn?

Ha, ha - what you're thinking might be more appropriate, Glamorousgray!
