Shami Chakrobati now Shadow Attorney General in Corbyn reshuffle

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

You are soooooo naive Ana

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

Ooh, Annie, surely not...?

Oh Ana , why not ?

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

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

Nick Brown the new chief whip is a very close, very loyal, long time friend of Gordon Brown, he told me - sorry but he did - that he strongly advised Gordon Brown to stand against Blair for the leadership, he would have been his campaign manager

So what's wrong with Nick Brown being the new chief whip, as he's a friend of yours?

You are confused Jen, I said he he was / is a close friend of Gordon Brown,

Sorry, you confused me. I assumed he was a friend of yours, too, as you said he'd told you that he'd advised Brown to stand for leader.
An acquaintance, then.

Ten MPs who had previously resigned have come back to the shadow cabinet.
Out of another 20, 14 are from the North.

They resigned because they had no faith in him as a leader, momentum threaten deselection and ten trot back . Coincidence ?

They've come back because they are sensible and caring, Annie. They know that the Labour party needs to unite to fight the Tories. Unlike you.

Wrong again Jen,i said he told me , I didn't use the words- he advised me. I did say he advised Brown, I didn't need or ask him to advise me on any matter. Yet I confused you , mmmmm, do you assume every one eho tells you something is a friend, I don't . My milkman told me he was moving house, he isn't a friend

Hope this had made it clearer for you to understand

You could be right Jen, pity their leader wasn't sensible and caring , the party needs a sensible and caring leader .

You think someone who has won the Ghandi Peace Award for thirty years work upholding the Ghandian values of social justice and non-violence is not caring, do you? How strange.

Is Nick Brown an acquaintance?
What's wrong with him being chief whip again?

he told me - sorry but he did - that he strongly advised Gordon Brown to stand against Blair for the leadership, he would have been his campaign manager

That doesn't sound like the milkman. Was he not a friend when he told you that?
Nick Brown is a Northern MP. Did he tell you that in Parliament or in Wales?
Just curious. You keep dropping in the fact that you know these people, but you do not seem to like Nick Brown, as you are avoiding saying whether he is a friend or not.

?

I always think when people resort to name-dropping they are on the edge of desperation.

Like I said, just curious.
If I met someone in a coffee shop who told me that Nick Brown had told her what Nick Brown told you, I would have asked the same questions.

Listening to the discussions on the Clinton v Trump battle and the fact that some can defend what Trump said about women I now think any attempt on a discussion of Corbyn is a waste of time ,

And no, I am not comparing Corbyn with Trump, the only thing they have in common is three marriages

Why shouldn't AB mention well known politicle figures she knows or has known? I'll admit I'm slightly envious of AB in relation to all the powerful political people she has spoken to, what a wonderful opportunity.

But we were discussing the role of chief whip, not if he would/wouldn't have supported Brown. Still not sure if Annie thinks he will be a good one. He definitely isn't a Blairite and I believe she is. (but I may be wrong)
