I think thats Roberta Blackman-Woods…

Robert Blackman-Woods? Didn’t think Labour were so “progressive” as to give a women-only slot to a guy…

Abbott will be a left wing liability to Red Ed.

I think that should be Roberta Blackman-Woods (the MP whose surname sounds most like a place in rural Essex).

Oh, and considering that there is also a statistical chance that all of the female candidates will be elected, I would suggest the chance of election of any of the candidates in nominally >50%,

Incidentally, I assume in the interests of equality there will be a list of men standing in the election also? Although I note they are not guaranteed a set number of seats (although since there are less female candidates than places at the shadow cabinet table, I suspect they are…).

The Eagles are twin sisters if that helps you any Sunny? Obviously, as siblings, they can’t both be in the shadow cabinet.

Maria Eagle was good on arguing against the shameful plan to give accused rapists anonymity

Given that only five MPs voted for Diane Abbott as Labour leader, I can’t imagine she’ll get enough votes to get into the shadow cabinet. It’s not as if she had an impressive leadership campaign to justify a place. I don’t know much about Emily Thornberry though.

I think that I should have a vote in the election for Labour’s shadow cabinet!

Maybe LiberalConspiracy could make this happen!

But which will bring the softest edge to politics, Sunny? What of softness? We must rate these women by their relative similarity to the Andrex puppy!

Robert Blackman-Woods ? Sounds like the kind of place you might meet Ron Davies.

I’ve corrected Roberta’s name (apols).

The list has also been updated with two names, and some of you are right in saying it could be more than 6 women MPs elected. I was just pointing out the minimum.

To E.P. Thompson, seven MPs voted Diane Abbott for leader. Also, friends of hers who would probably vote for her for Shadow Cabinet like Keith Vaz and David Lammy voted for others for leader.

“Maria Eagle was good on arguing against the shameful plan to give accused rapists anonymity”

The above sentence shows part of the problem that the plan was supposed to address. The accused are “people who are accused of rape” not “accused rapists”, (if they are rapists then they have already been convicted).

(if they are rapists then they have already been convicted).

That’s extremely unlikely. Most rape is unreported for a start.
