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.

So he isn't putting forward the current views of the Labour Party Annie?

We'd never have got the NHS with that defeatist attitude anniebach

Anniebach Fri 25-Aug-17 09:53:51

they will like what they are saying because he is saying what they want to hear , rainbows all the way and he is the rainbow maker

I can't think what I was listening to yesterday whitewave, but the people on the ground where he was visiting certainly seemed to like what he was saying and believed he had some insight into what they felt had gone wrong.

whitewave Fri 25-Aug-17 09:24:03

He is attracting really large numbers of people.

It is interesting to see Corbyn getting out there on the ground in Scotland. So many expect to run a party from their offices in Whithall it seems.

Devongirl, you share that mystification with many of ussmile along with what socialist principles AB wants put in place.

Anniebach Fri 25-Aug-17 09:13:08

I am concerned there are plans to stop Burnham and Khan speaking at this years conference because they are not of the left.

whitewave Fri 25-Aug-17 09:05:04

Pleased to read that Labour is beginning to win back a lot of support in Scotland.

Anniebach Thu 03-Aug-17 22:28:19

Devongirl, I no longer give it any thought, he is there to stay and I think Thornberry will take over the reins when he does stand down. I voted for
Andy Burnham when .milliband won and was going to vote for .yvette Cooper but switched to Corbyn, I really did believe he was an honest man, I was wrong.

devongirl Thu 03-Aug-17 19:39:27

annie I am mystified, as a self-professed labour supporter, who exactly do you want as the party leader?

Anniebach Mon 31-Jul-17 18:21:38

Thank you .petra, so with hindsight this man of honour! Was wrong - again.

And he wants to take this country the same way.

petra Mon 31-Jul-17 17:43:54

annie
I think we can safely assume that he has abandoned his 'brothers'
This quote has been deleted from his web page.
"Venezuela has seriously conquered poverty by emphatically rejecting new liberal policies"

Haven't bothered Jen, thinking about it he has remained silent in the lead up to the election , think if asked about his praise for the president he would give the same reply as he did on being asked about calling Hamas his friends - with hindsight I was wrong. He tends to do this .

durhamjen Mon 31-Jul-17 16:14:46

So you haven't been able to find out if he's there.

Anniebach Mon 31-Jul-17 15:01:12

I doubt he is Jen, would be rather egg on face time after the praise he heaped on this caring for the people president and how the government of Venezuela was the perfect example for communist rule

durhamjen Mon 31-Jul-17 13:47:18

I don't know, Annie. Is he?
I am sure you could find out if you really want to know.

Anniebach Mon 31-Jul-17 13:34:42

Devon girl, God has nothing to do with it, a labour thread and a post about the leader of the Labour Party

devongirl Mon 31-Jul-17 13:26:42

Fgs Annie.

Anniebach Mon 31-Jul-17 13:24:05

Wonder if Corbyn is in Venezuela congratulating the President on his victory !

durhamjen Mon 31-Jul-17 12:31:09

Here's a Labour film to go and see.

Listen to him singing, at 85.

Population has got nothing whatsoever to do with the number of pupils per teacher. Even schoolchildren know better than that.

That was to Ana btw. grin previous page.

rosesarered Sat 29-Jul-17 17:59:15
