The reshuffle, thought to have been deftly managed by Sue Gray, made a shadow cabinet heavy with stalwarts from the Blair-Brown era


I don't know about other people but I really was hoping for more than a sequel to the Blair years. I mean I get they need experience but the Tories are on the ropes, the Centrists in the party have had 13 years to come up with new ideas...

This is just not scaring the horses, the Tories are kicking themselves in the balls so hard as their policies come home to roost, it's not the time to be radical.

Boring and effective is the way to power. Everyone's had enough of psychodrama politics.

At this point all Labour need to do is show even mild competence and they'll probably win.

Also they're not in-fighting and back stabbing each other like the tories are, which is another win!
