Labour went two steps forward and I was open to be persuaded to vote for them if they did well in the next few years.
But on day two KS appointed Ms Raynor, day three Ms Long Bailey and day five Ms Shah.
A balanced shadow cabinet? Is that a late April's fool joke perhaps
Now completely unelectable again in five days and absolutely no confidence in them as theyve messed it up again.

I might see what the Lib Dems are doing come election time.
I counted 30 people in the new Labour shadow cabinet team. Amongst them are centrists Lisa Nandy, Ed Milliband, Nick Thomas-Symonds, Annaliese Dodds, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Jess Philips, Wes Streeting - in fact 12 mps who refused to serve under Corbyn are now actively involved. Why are you not referring to them in your opinions on how unbalanced the labour shadow cabinet is?

I think Starmer has struck a great balance in that both left and right of the party are happy to proceed without the in fighting that we saw from 2015 onwards. More reflective and mature Conservative supporter analysis seems to recognise that this more unified force will be a better opposition. Sadly, the majority of right wingers on here are predictably just quoting Sun and Mail headlines.
