Jeremy Corbyn - Continuing Saga of the Labour Party Leader

McPhee

The women in cabinet jobs thing makes me chuckle, manly for two reasons:

1. Jobs should be assigned on merit. It is admirable to guarantee half of the Shadow Cabinet positions for women, but beyond that the best people should be in the roles most suited to them. In the case of the Shadow Cabinet, two of the top jobs have gone to people elected in to those posts, two have gone to politicians vastly more experienced than any women on the list and the last has gone to a man who is instrumental to the whole Corbynite plan.

2. There are 16 women in the Shadow Cabinet. The press are in uproar because there aren't any women in the 'top jobs'. There are 9 women in the Cabinet. Seemingly this is okay because one of them has a 'top job'.

The press is just in uproar full stop. The Telegraph is almost in a meltdown with (at time of writing) nine different Corbyn themed articles on its front page. Bless them.

I kind of agree with Corbyn the traditional top jobs in the cabinet are 19th century and there are a lot of other important offices. Like having a minister for mental health.

And that is when he would be likely to do the greatest harm.
Things could be done in the 70s because we didn't have as much international competition now we have to compete against Asia, particularly China and India.

McPhee

Nah, the papers have it right. The only things that matter in this country are public finances, justice and home affairs. It's an outrage that Mr Corbyn has put women in charge of such small and unimportant things as Health, Education and Business. An outrage.

Ah but the Grandest job in the Land currently belongs to a woman, HRH Elizabeth II. To be followed by male heirs to the throne.

I think Mr Corbyn is an absolute disgrace .................

After years of loyal service no place in his cabinet for SOOTY or SWEEP!

GET OUT!
