@rowenamason: Maria Eagle is the new shadow culture secretary
And she is happy with that? Sheeeeesh.
Silly woman, happy to be trampled on. As suggested the 'rebels are not up for it. Who is the shadow First Secretary of State then? Thornberry? She is anti Trident so we can see the direction of travel for Labour. Plus as she worked for Mansfield QC she ticks lots of lefty boxes.
ANGELA Eagle was (and still is, at least at this moment!) Shadow First Sec of State - not MARIA Eagle.
May I ask the Prime Minister to reject the view that sees terrorist acts as always being a response or a reaction to what we in the west do? Does he agree that such an approach risks infantilising the terrorists and treating them like children, when the truth is that they are adults who are entirely responsible for what they do? No one forces them to kill innocent people in Paris or Beirut. Unless we are clear about that, we will fail even to understand the threat we face, let alone confront it and ultimately overcome it.
Who could object to that? A Terrorist Sympathiser, possibly, but who else?
A yawning bear trap, but oh well....
I strongly object to it, on the basis that it's making the issue into a totally disingenuous simplistic binary choice between a - Terrorist responsible b - Terrorist not responsible
I would be totally against someone who said 'let's not attack the terrorists because if we do they will get angry and retaliate'. But I would be wholly for the view that ISIS have required a number of things to succeed, namely weakened or absent power structures ('West' largely responsible), unhindered recruitment ('West' partly responsible), porous borders ('West' partly responsible), huge funding ('West' partly responsible) etc. It is entirely reasonable for 'the West' to look coldly at these issues and try (hollow laugh) to learn from the mistakes of the past, without removing the moral agency of the individual terrorist.
If I were Corbyn I wouldn't want someone unable to make this simple distinction in my front bench team.
The fact that you can't see what McFadden was saying says a hell of a lot about your mindset.
The only person being disingenuous is you.
Thank you.
Saved me the effort.

If I were Corbyn I wouldn't want someone unable to make this simple distinction in my front bench team.
Except Corbyn and those like him are the ones who make that binary distinction by having such fixed, automatic interpretations of these issues, without any hesitation or nuance. Whether they mean it or not by having that automatic view they remove agency from the perpetrators and that is presumably what he McFadden was criticising. If Corbyn and co presented the point as you have in a believable way (that is, not undermined by the instinctual nature of their interpretation) the criticism would not have been put in such a way I imagine.
A leading figure behind the doctors’ strike likened Conservative policies to Nazi propaganda, and is among several supporters of Labour and Jeremy Corbyn on the British Medical Association’s council, it can be disclosed.
Dr Kailash Chand said that Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s propaganda chief, would be “proud” of Tory policies on education, health and the economy under
Labour Left is the "think" tank founded by Eoin Clarke.
I'd say Dr Chand needs to explain why he, as a senior BMA bod, is associating with a man who ran a multi-year campaign of lies about various people and bodies in Health and had to apologise in public.
What all that about the Doctor's strike being about patients not politics?
Or, as the BMA put it:
"A BMA spokesman said: “The BMA is an apolitical organisation. The call for industrial action was made by junior doctors themselves, with 98 per cent voting in favour of taking action, demonstrating the strength of feeling amongst the profession against government proposals that are unsafe and unfair.” "
If the BMA is a non-political organisation they need to do something to salvage their reputation. And get some slightly sensible people to coach their Juniors.
Dr Chand is not the BMA, though he is an elected member of Council.
98% of Junior Doctors are not Trotskite militants. They know a bad deal when they see one.
The BMA have been a famously supine organisation in the past (which is why I joined the rival HCSA), particularly over the botched MMC/MTAS reforms of 2007. If they hadn't backed the Junior Doctors negotiating team then most likely the juniors would have broken away. This is a strike demanded by the grassroots not the BMA leaders.

I've been reading the Telegraph too much. At least I know the difference between Cannon and Ball.
A leading figure behind the doctors’ strike likened Conservative policies to Nazi propaganda, and is among several supporters of Labour and Jeremy Corbyn on the British Medical Association’s council, it can be disclosed.
Dr Kailash Chand said that Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s propaganda chief, would be “proud” of Tory policies on education, health and the economy under the Coalition.
He separately nicknamed Simon Burns, the then health minister, “Goebbels”. Dr Chand is one of two members of the BMA’s council who declare that they are Labour members. But several others are supporters of Mr Corbyn and the Labour Party, a Telegraph investigation reveals.
One senior BMA member, who backed Mr Corbyn’s leadership, wrote in a posting on the website of the doctors’ union that success in their campaign against government proposals to change junior doctors’ contracts would signal “the first real crack in the entire edifice of austerity in the UK”.
98% of junior doctors, some of the most highly educated and numerate people in the country voted to strike if Hunt imposed his contract. A further 1.5% voted for Industrial action short of strike. This was on a 76% turnout. Junior Doctors of all political stripes voted against the contract. This is not a strike being orchestrated by Trotskyists, this is a highly astute workforce who know when they are being shafted
And a group of people who as recently as Thatcher would have voted Conservative in large numbers.
Do the Tories really need Doctors any more? I doubt the party has ever been so unpopular with the educated middle classes. Is that such a problem though? Maybe good headlines in the tabloid media matter more.
Depends whether they have the ambition of ever topping 40% again and having a comfortable majority. And also whether they want young doctors to emigrate because they get paid better for less gyp and afford a house before they are 40. Clearly in the absence of an opposition they can currently write off huge swathes of the working electorate as long as they fill pensioners mouths with gold. Don't think it's sustainable for our country or the economy though.
Many ways to stuff doctors. Remove all restrictions on medical school entrants, make the cost of getting a medical degree more reflective in tuition fees, maybe add an extra tier to tuition costs.

I do wish PBers would stop using the word "Trotskyist" - everyone knows Trotskyists are tools of the Capitalists!
Corbo has managed to demonstrate just how weak he really is within the PLP. At the same time as doing nothing to strengthen his position by being unable to sack Benn or rid himself of A. Eagle.
And Red Ken has been ramping in the media.
Someone teach the leader some game theory.
And perhaps some quick decision making skills at the same time.
And maybe give Ken some media training.
Dya know what - it might be easier just to get the grown ups back. Paging Lord Mandelson.....

One thing that has to be said about Corbyn is he is honest in the sense that:
He could shut up about Defence and Foreign Affairs and just push his left-wing economic policy. He might well still not win a GE but he would at least have a chance.
But by doing all the Defence and Foreign Affairs stuff he literally commits suicide electorally.
Consider what happened at GE 2015 with Ed and then just add into the cocktail that at every single moment Corbyn is going to come under ferocious attack for leaving the country defenceless and supporting terrorists.
It is going to lead to total annihilation for Lab.

You may well be right - I'm not defending Corbyn, that's just how the statement appeared to me in isolation.

None of that could take effect on the number of Junior Doctors for at least 5 and more realistically 10 years. We already have recruitment and retention crisis with half of GP training posts unfilled in the East Midlands for example.
Leaving the EU would make it a lot harder to fill the gaps with Greek, Polish or Romanian Doctors too.
And I hope it involves flags the second time around.

The business of government carries on, massively increase the supply. Five years rolls buy very quickly. There's an argument for doctors on their first rotations to be paid nothing but subsistence wages. They are little more than apprentices.
Sacking two experienced people for making really quite reasonable comments about really quite unusual Labour party positions thrown about by the newly elected and monumentally unpopular leader is really, really thick.
From a pure power play point of view, what is even thicker is leaving the in the cabinet more vocal critics.

I think you are a horrible person.
Thanks. I don't really believe in categorising people as 'horrible' - certainly not from contributions to a message board. That's why I'd tentatively categorise you as a very troubled person. Unless your PB persona is some sort of fictional conceit, I don't see how you can be so consistently unpleasant, on a personal level, to anyone who disagrees with you, without carrying an enormous weight of bitterness. I wish you every success with dealing with whatever it is that's causing the problem, and enough self-awareness to see the irony of the statement above, because I don't think the way you carry on currently is conducive to happiness or health.
Comic timing isn’t usually Dave’s strong point, but for once he landed a moderately effective pre-cooked line. “No matter how many Eagles there are,” said Cameron, “the Labour party will always have an albatross at the head of the party.” Angela Eagle seemed to find this funnier than anyone else in the chamber, laughing longer and louder than the joke deserved. Corbyn flushed with anger while Dave looked nonplussed; he’d never received such an enthusiastic reaction to one of his gags. Even from his family. Especially from them.
And I hope it involves flags the second time around.

If he only sacks his critics two at a time, then this reshuffle/briefing/bloodletting cycle is going to repeat every 6 months. It's just all such a shambles. Given his mandate, he is entitled to his policies, but there's no excuse for cocking up the basic mechanics of politics.
Some moves to the left in other posts but Hilary Benn stays as Shadow Foreign Secretary and must now be the odds-on successor to Corbyn before the next election if he stumbles at the polls

Bloody hell, is this damn reshuffle still going on? What an unholy mess. Can we bring Yougov and their daily polling back? Labour must have dropped 5 points in the last 48 hours of this farce. The treatment of Pat McFadden in particular is disgraceful, no-one could possibly object to his comments unless they were a terrorist sympathiser.
Thanks for the reply Ms @Cyclefree, good as ever. I think we agree that multiculturism has a lot to answer for, and that we should look to more closely integrate newcomers into our society rather than allow them to import their own society and values into the UK.

" "What are the odds that Bernie Sanders wins both Iowa and New Hampshire," host
"Not impossible," Carville responded.
"Put some numbers down on it," Halperin said. "What are the odds he wins?"
"43.28%," Carville predicted. "I think there's a chance. I don't think it's a 50% chance but the state was made for him. He's got a lot of people there. It's been unpredictable." "
So Sanders is the favorite in both Iowa and New Hampshire - yeah right, pull the other one.
You know what, we need a market not just on the next Labour leader, but on which MP will step forward and collect the signatures to initiate a leadership contest (it's well discussed but as I understand it the rules say they could do that today, but then an election itself might happen on a rather wobbly time scale). No shortage of potential runners in this market, even if many rumoured challengers don't materialise.

It saddens me enormously that we have any law firm that makes a living from the exploitation of our dreadful Human Rights legislation.
It brings our entire legal system into disrepute that they use this to undermine natural justice time after time.
Lawyers making a living from the law is their job. If politicians pass bad laws then it's not the fault of lawyers who expose the flaws but the politicians should pass fewer and clearer laws.
OTOH for shredding documents they should be arrested for perverting the course of justice and imprisoned not just struck off ...
