Couldn't have put it better myself. Why is the default position in
politics to attack & pour scorn before intelligent consideration. No
wonder we don't like knee jerk politicians scoring cheap points, which is what has happened after PMQ's yesterday.
Mr Corbyn is on the front bench surrounded by "suits" in dark colours. Thank God someone is prepared not to conform to the uniform. But he is pilloried for his lack of taste. Isn't what he says more important? Similarly, how refreshing that a senior politician is actually trying to involve the general public in debate. How dare the "focus group" driven Conservatives pour scorn on his initiative? Not to mention people in his own party.
This is all becoming more and more like a "witch hunt".
Wouldn't an intelligent response be to stop, think, & listen to an alternative. At least give people a chance to show what they can do & how they go about it.
While I'm commenting on the Shadow Cabinet can I just mention that 16 out of 30 posts have gone to women despite the rush to the hills of the backbenches on Corbyn's election.. Beat that Mr Cameron.
