Corbyn Makes His Own Rules
Jeremy Corbyn has appointed Diane Abbot to Labour’s National Executive Committee but two senior members of the Shadow Cabinet told PoliticsHome they were not told of the decision.
//The behind-closed-doors move infuriated backbenchers. One Labour source told the Politcs Home website: “This exposes the sham of Labour party democracy.
“If Jeremy cannot consult the Shadow Cabinet about using their constitutional powers, what chance have the membership got in being listened to on Brexit?”
According to Labour’s rule book the NEC must include “three frontbench Members of Parliament, at least one of whom must be a woman, nominated by the Cabinet (or Shadow Cabinet in opposition)”//

jno, //are you asking any actual questions today or just clipping bits out of newspapers? //
I haven't decided yet whether I'll ask any questions today. That will depend upon what surfaces in the news or elsewhere so keep your eyes peeled. However, since one or two have been complaining lately about the lack of interest the AnswerBank is generating, currently I'm simply attempting to encourage discussion to help alleviate that, so thank you for contributing to this thread. I trust that answers your question.

spath - // He is simply a supporting actor with no power, say or huge influence on our government. //
He is a supporting actor, he is acting the part of a parliamentarian - but his party is the Party of Opposition, so by default, he does have considerable influence on the government.
That is not conditioned by his need to know how to use it effectively, more's the pity.

ludwig - I quite agree.
It's times like this when the Opposition should be holding the government to account and incisively pointing out its errors, and the Opposition's plans to do better when they are elected.
These are the times when votors seriously look at the government, and the alternatives, except today, there aren't any!
