Former leadership rival Owen Smith appointed to Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary in Jeremy Corbyn’s reshuffle

Announcing the changes to his Shadow Cabinet, Mr Corbyn said: “I am delighted to announce four appointments to fill shadow cabinet vacancies. I look forward to working with the strengthened shadow cabinet as we prepare a government in waiting to carry out our manifesto for the many not the few.

Well obviously you can!
Or at least you can say that you doubt the veracity of their comment.

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 18:06:58

Because I feel upset and hurt - is that enough?

durhamjen Sun 16-Jul-17 18:04:57

Still shouldn't call anyone a liar on here, though.

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 18:04:44

Ofgs why don't you harangue GNHQ instead of mentioning it on every single thread that Primrose is on?

If they didn't see fit to delete the post, you'll have to accept their decision as the rest of us do.

Oh for Heavens sake ww what does it matter if a stranger doesn't believe something you or I or anyone else says!

maddyone Sun 16-Jul-17 18:03:16

What's the matter with some of the posters on this thread? Why so rude, aggressive, and unkind?

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 17:58:42

I haven't protested not nearly enough yet believe me.

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 17:58:08

Nope I won't until the poster has the grace to apologise for accusing me of lying.

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 17:54:32

Oh, give it a rest whitewave.

The post in which you used the phrase 'by my books' Primrose. Perhaps it's just my computer that isn't showing it any more!?

Primrose65 Sun 16-Jul-17 17:53:32

ww The lady doth protest too much, methinks

Primrose65 Sun 16-Jul-17 17:50:46

WHich post Ana ?

whitewave Sun 16-Jul-17 17:43:57

Are you sure she didn't accuse anyone of lying?

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 17:31:47

It's actually not funny Primrose. There wasn't anything offensive your post - why has it disappeared? hmm

Primrose65 Sun 16-Jul-17 16:36:33

durhamjen that's a joke post, isn't it?

Primrose65 Sun 16-Jul-17 16:35:51

Ana perhaps you have discovered a 'hide Primrose' function on GN grin grin grin

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 16:32:23

Your entire post seems to have disappeared now Primrose - or is it just me? confused

durhamjen Sun 16-Jul-17 16:31:44

By the way, Primrose, can you please tell me why you think aggressive begging is leftwing?

Primrose65 Sun 16-Jul-17 16:28:04

?????
You'll need to spell it out for me MaizieD (pun intended).

An extra s didn't need a comma or an apostrophe (I think that's what you're alluding to)

It just didn't need to be there.

MaizieD Sun 16-Jul-17 16:20:42

Lack of commas, Primroses.

durhamjen Sun 16-Jul-17 15:20:57

Oh dear, and there I was, thinking we might hasve a real political commentator in our midst.
I was willing to listen to and learn from someone who knew what she was talking about.

Primrose65 Sun 16-Jul-17 15:20:51

Ana made the interpretation of my post in the way I intended it.

Sorry about the extra 's' confusing you durhamjen

MaizieD What's wrong with my punctuation?

MaizieD Sun 16-Jul-17 15:14:58

I think Primroses is just a little challenged in the punctuation area, dj.

durhamjen Sun 16-Jul-17 15:09:14

I am just asking her what she means by ' in my books.'

She might mean books she has written.
I took it to be literal. It could have been.
I am sure Primrose can speak for herself.

The phrase you are talking about, meaning in my opinion, is 'in my book.'

Are you just having another go at me, Ana?

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 14:48:51

Have you never come across that turn of phrase before durhamjen? Really? Or are you just having another go at primrose?

durhamjen Sun 16-Jul-17 14:33:42

'Political debate isn't trying to pick holes in a sentence in my books, calling opinions stupid or ignorant. We all have different life experiences that have shaped us.'

Please, Primrose, which books? Are you a political author?
Is that why you meet MPs?
