ffs the new shadow education secretary has resigned. I assume they've been in the job at most three days?

Come on Labour sort yourselves out we need something approaching a credible opposition.

I think you've joined at the right time Mystery, seems like a job in the shadow cabinet might be up for grabs.

The only thing worse than not listening to people is asking for their opinion and then declaring you don't give a **** and do the opposite. Getting rid of Corbyn before he had a chance to screw up an election would be a big mistake. But who knows, looking at the Tories right now Labour might just get away with it but I wouldn't bet on it.


By the way Psychosplodge, the biggest problem with the UN security council is that you can't loose your top place unless you agree to it.

Interesting.

If Cameron stayed the Leave campaign would blame him for the negative effects, accusing him of not negotiating hard enough. No way he wants to expose himself to that.

And I don't think he such a master tactician and diplomat that he would do much better than somebody else.

If I'm understanding this, this is his way of saying "You guys are just f...ed and there's nothing me or anyone can do about it."


I mean, I cannot see any way that politicians can come out of this looking like they did the right thing.

But isn't a resignation from office at a time like this akin to a resignation from all politics? Are they euthanizing their political careers so that they don't have to watch them die?

Things can work pretty differently over there, so I don't know if this is the case.

Cameron was standing down at the end of this term anyway.
He'll either have some lucrative directorship lined up, a seat in the lords possibly, or end up on the speaking circuit.

[grimmas]

He did reportably say "I'm not doing all the hard **** for someone else"

[Psychosplodge]

lmao, well thats one option as well.
