Says the person who has called the PM consistently :rolleyes:

It's hardly smearing it's the truth.

What goes around comes around ;)

No sign of Corbyn on that list. Do you think he's finally got the message?

There was never a chance he was going to be on that list OB in a million years.

You know that. I know that. Nobody told Corbyn.

He thought it was a slam dunk.

I very much doubt anyone thought there would be a place for him, least of all JC himself.

I disagree. He put his name forward for it. Totally delusional!

Got a link for that, please? (for Keir Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet, not RLB’s, where it was stated "Asked if he would accept a new shadow cabinet role, Corbyn said he would “see what it is”, adding: “I didn’t know I was going to be offered anything and you’re telling me something that I didn’t know.”".

Sorry, I think we were at cross purposes!

Cool we're all agreed then that no way would JC be deluded enough to think that Sir Keir would have offered him a shadow cabinet role.

Yes, even a busted clock is right twice a day! Most decisions Corbyn has made while Leader of the Opposition have been the wrong call.

He was hedging but his desire is clear - and he would have known that Starmer was a fair bet to be Leader..

Re: Sir Keir Starmer elected as new Labour leader

Corbyn equivocates. It's just what he does. I don't think anything he has said can be construed as his hoping for a shadow cabinet job. Just that he is more or less incapable of making an unqualified statement about anything.
