IN AN act of what seems like desperation, Keir Starmer has once again shuffled the shadow cabinet. Why he chose this week for the shuffle is unknown, maybe as a way to detract from Tory sleaze or to distract the country from the woeful mishandling of Covid by capitalist nations which has led to the rise of yet another variant?
Out with the old and in with the Blairites seems to be the mandate of the day. One of the “victims” of this reshuffle is Kate Green the, now former, shadow education secretary.
Green, it must be said, did not set the world on fire in her role and she earned the resentment of many when she took on the role after Rebecca Long Bailey was shamefully fired.
