Well this could be interesting.

Rosie Winterton sacked from Chief Whips position and Nick Brown back in the Cabinet again. Baroness Shami Chakrabarti has done very well since joining Labour she is now Shadow Attorney General and Dianne Abbot Shadow Home Secretary, Dawn Butler Shadow Minority Ethnic Communities, Sarah Champion Shadow Women and Equalities Minister and Jo Stevens Shadow Secretary of State for Wales.

It will be interesting to see if any who signed 'No Confidence' in Corbyn can/will be in Corbyn's reshuffled Cabinet Team. Time for 'Unity'?

Thanks nigglynellie for the reference to Aberfan. I was in my teens and remember the horror as the news unfolded on our tv at home. My mother wept for the mothers and their children. I wept this morning as I listened to interviews from Aberfan.

It was completely shocking, and deeply upsetting coupled with fury at the complacency, stupidity and dupicity at the powers that were, whoever they were.
