Corbyn will undertake a Shadow Cabinet re-shuffle shortly.

Reed is vociferously pro Nuclear, so he probably knew his days were numbered.

Any Blairite or center left politician will have to think deep and hard about what they want to stand for.

Corbyn has got a lot of lefties behind him, but that does not win elections. Middle England does that. The Tories have the same problem with the righties. However, if labour lurches right to the left it will loose more and more voters who are not interested in party politics simply how much they can get for their families.

Interesting times to come.

They're queuing up already, not to work with him, lol.

Other than this relatively unknown MP, who else pricisely is in this queue?

Don't you read your own rag, gromit?

So someone on Materity Leave has ruled herself out of a Shadow Cabinet position as well.
You lot are funny.

and Mrs Balls. That's 3 in half an hour.

Is it sour grapes to not want to work under someone who's policy you disagree with? I think it would smack of hypocricy to accept a position in his cabinet.

[Svejk]

Tristram. Chucky. The rats are deserting the sinking ship now, gromit.

Nope Sweaty - I prefer to think of it as losing the useless ballast that cost a weak-kneed Labour the last election.

Chuka Umunna

I'm sure they all knew their 'cards were marked' anyway, dave. Otherwise they'd give your right arm for a sniff of power(and money)
Doesn't stop it being pretty spectacular.
