Keystone Cops time.......again
I am playing a little game... just to amuse myself. As each post is discussed / announced, I am trying to name the equivalent members of Jezza's Government in Waiting.
Despite the fact we are presently only talking about the Great Offices of State, it is not as easy as it sounds. Once we get down the list a bit, I'd be surprised if even Jezza himself could get many of them

Sticking to the present government though, the only reshuffle that would bring me any pleasure would be Kenneth Clarke getting every single job, including PM.

It's interesting - and it says far more about you than today's events does - that this ongoing story has NOTHING to do with Jeremy Corbyn, nor his shadow cabinet, nor his party, and yet you can't wait to beat yourself off with making it all about him. Textbook transference. Obsessed, much...?

He's probably eating Pringles and giggling.

It is an absolutely terrible indictment of the ruling party that the ONLY way to defend their omnishambles is to point mocking fingers at the opposition.
As we saw in the last election, the more the Tories pointed at Corbyn and 'said, look at that, what a joke', the more we did look, and the more many of us found stuff we liked

I think that it was said in response to the post by Ernest a known supporter of Corbyn saying it was a shambles. The same would be said if you posted about such changes in relation to and being an arch supporter of Caroline Lucas, but thankfully she will never be is such a position.
