DrewDon Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I wouldn't say Nick Brown is a 'Corbynista', as such. He voted for Yvette Cooper last year. He served as Chief Whip under Gordon Brown, and also for a brief spell in the nineties under Tony Blair; he was moved/demoted the first time around, allegedly because of how loyal he was perceived to being to Gordon Brown. He is, by all accounts, an arch-Brownite. If my mind serves me right, he will be only the second Labour MP to serve three separate terms as Chief Whip. Can anybody name the first without searching? He won the constituency Brown serves now - Newcastle East - at a by-election during the twenties, but lost that seat to the Liberals at the General Election later in the same year.

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Diane Abbott Shadow Home Secretary. A rebuttal to those who criticised the lack of women in senior posts, but, well, she's not the greatest, is she?If she can become the first Labour Home Affairs Spokesperson in decades to make a convincing case for a more liberal attitude to law and order, focussing on rehabilitation as much as retribution, she'll have done a good job.

pandarilla Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Shame Chakrabarti has been appointed to the cabinet. Have to admit I'm a bit uncomfortable with someone who got into the Lords as a thank you for a whitewashed report into anti-semitism (and other prejudices) being appointed to the cabinet. She's an outstanding individual though. I don't think I've disagreed with anything she's ever said. I'm not convinced by your take on her report either.

Newbornbairn Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 So we have a hypocritical racist as Shadow Home Secretary then? That must have been some shagging she gave Corbyn on that motorbike tour as she's quite possibly the most detestable and detested Labour MP in the party. As for the"Peer for Hire", any credibility she had must surely have been lost when she abandoned any sense of impartiality to join the organisation she was "investigating" whilst she was "investigating" it then to accept an elevation to the peerage as payment for her "investigation" before the ink was dry. Corrupt - you'd better fucking believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How impartial would you have rated Lord Nimmo Smith if he joined the Rangers/Sevco Board whilst his inquiry was ongoing? Or even joined the Sevco board a few months after his inquiry was complete? Sham Chakrabarti's credibility is in shreds. She's another wealthy socialist hypocrite who, like Diane Abbott, has sent her child to an expensive private school.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Dianne Abbott as Shadow Home Secretary.[emoji38]Just disband your pointless mess of a party now. Even by Labour's hilarious standards, that's an amazing appointment. The exasperation of Labour "moderates" having to watch their party slowly burn is thoroughly pleasing. What a time to be alive.

Dunning1874 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It takes a serious brass neck for Corbyn to talk about 'a new kind of politics', supposedly a left-wing way of doing politics to reconnect with the electorate, then to nominate someone for a peerage while that person carries out a supposedly impartial investigation into the party, then to give that new member of the House of Lords a cabinet post. The correct course of action for a principled left-wing party would surely be to nominate no one for the HoL and never include someone from the HoL in the cabinet, demonstrating their commitment to reform and an elected second chamber? I realise that the electorate at large don't really give a toss who the Attorney General is, but the symbolism is important regardless. Abbott is also a liability who should be nowhere near the major posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
