foxy lady Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Well It seems JC has had 'another' error of judgement in placing Emily Thornbury as shadow defence secretary. Or will at least leave himself open to 'awkward' questions. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/12084846/David-Cameron-Questions-to-answer-over-Emily-Thornberrys-links-to-condemned-law-firm-Leigh-Day.html The problem that Corbyn faces is the majority of Labour MPs don't support him or his policies. Many have said they won't serve in the Shadow Cabinet. Others have been sacked from it. Others know serving under Corbyn will damage their future political careers. He is left sifting through the remaining dross of folk without ability and without ambition to try to fill the posts. It is little wonder that the chance of an increased salary and pension appeals to those on the look out for cash in a brown envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ah, that's where I know the name from: She was was forced to step down from the shadow cabinet in 2014 over accusations of 'snobbery' after tweeting a picture of a house in Rochester decked out in England flags with a white van on the driveway, captioned: “Image from Rochester”Classy!

PeteMorris Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ah, that's where I know the name from: Classy! Indeed! Not to mention the dodgy dealings with the law firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ladd Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 which gives a huge reflection on what is happening, the media hate Corbyn because he is going to upset their little world, these minions who people have never heard off that go running to the press are given pages on the spreadsheet and get paid for it.... do you not find it odd? or have you been suckered by the media to believe all their hype and spin? Are you sure its not you thats been suckered? Corbyn is not really a politician, he is a political activist, believing and spinning a set of beliefs that are about 50 years out of date. On top of that you see a man who initially invited others with differing opinions into his circle and then, when they expressed those opinions sacked them. This is a sign of latent megalomania. Corbyn is not a clown. He is a dangerous political opportunist with a rabid following. Like Hitler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fortunately anyone whose politics appeal to the red brigade round Sheffield will find little support amongst the general electorate. Labour MPs know this, but it seems the red brigade don't. But then the red brigade don't understand why the general electorate can't see their vision and would like to exclude them from the voting process.

Eric Arthur Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Let me get this straight then. Corbyn just appointed a woman as his Shadow Defence Secretary who took a £14,500 donation from a law firm to pay for a legal assistant in her office (why does a regular MP need a legal assistant?). If that wasn't enough, on the same day that he appointed her it was announced that the law firm is being investigated for suing British soldiers on behalf of enemy combatants using allegations made up by the solicitors at that law firm. Way to go Jeremy, that's how to get the confidence of the armed forces. Appoint a Shadow Defence Secretary who takes money from dodgy solicitors who act for the enemy to sue our own soldiers. What's next? Could this idiot get much worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me for asking,but how do you know the 'general electorate' would like to exclude them from the voting process? Most have never given their opinion to anyone have they,or am i missing something? ---------- Post added 07-01-2016 at 14:41 ---------- Let me get this straight then.
