Confirmed: I live in a universe totally divorced from that of Ms. Foster.

I'll join you in this parallel world if I may

Please can we just cut the crap and make him leader already?

Lisa Nandy as shadow foreign secretary is a surprise.

Personally I would've kept Thornberry in position, especially with everything happening right now.

Interesting that Nick Brown stays in place as Opposition Chief Whip. His experience last year of dealing with the likes of Hoey, Mann, Onn, Campbell etc will be a useful rehearsal at keeping the new intake of snarky Corbynite MP's firmly in their place.

Given her feather-weight replacement, I am astounded that Thornberry is out on her ear.

I can only assume, very much as an outsider, that Starmer is deep cleaning to the point of removing the stain of the WMV tweet. Perhaps others could elaborate.

She's staying in the cabinet, her rôle has not yet been disclosed.

I disagree - Gardiner is a great performer. It’s just odd he doesn’t go for the red nose, wig and silly shoes of other clowns.

He could do well to ignore drivel like this.

I wouldn't worry about it TWA. I should think Starmer is already aware of what a colossal twat James A Smith is.

A quick Google threw up a load of articles he's written for the Independent. I picked one at random.

Keir Starmer is a bad choice for Labour – it’s just too easy for Boris Johnson to destroy his reputation

I haven't linked to it as I'm not sure you'd enjoy wading through this stinking pool of festering dribble. His other works are in much the same vein. James A Smith has become a total irrelevance, just like the former LOTO whose arse he kisses.

Ignore him. His time has gone. He will (eventuality) go away.

I'd literally never even heard of James A Smith until these last couple of posts. Looks like I haven't been missing much!

Lisa Nandy's earned a place at the top table and is a popular figure but from what I've heard from her on foreign affairs she has a lot of homework to do. My first pick from the old gang wouldn't be Rachel Reeves either given the erratic anti-immigrant rhetoric she indulged in post-Brexit. But she has a competent reputation, very bright and a safe pair of hands to shadow Gove. Overall Keir's done good to bring in new faces and hopefully can find posts for Cooper and Lammy for eg once the ship's secured. I have little idea who Thomas-Symonds and Torfaen are but I've been reading complimentary stuff from those who know them.

As expected, Milne has gone, replaced by Ben Nunn.
