There's no kerfuffle within the Labour party regarding the reshuffle??

Course not...
Sound quite neutrally descriptive doesn't it. Makes you wonder why they used Kerfuffle in a pejorative way then.

Cameron's net approval amongst those who voted Tory in May is around double Corbyn's, in percentage point terms. And Cameron, unlike Labour, secured sufficient votes to win that election.

It does not take a genius to work out the trajectory Labour is now on, and will remain on unless something pretty fundamental changes between now and the next election (fundamental being, for example, Labour ditching Corbyn for a leader with appeal to the nation, as opposed to the hard-left insurgency that has been infiltrating the party over the last 6 months).

I guess it's the way you tell 'em. The picture varies with the political colour of the source.
