  • Anyone know how many are left on the back benches? Is it more or less than 10?

    Utterly ridiculous – given there are already 30 in the ‘shadow, shadow cabinet’.

    Of course Lib Dem MPs work hard in their constituencies…

  • A more pertinent question might be: how many of Cameron’s Conservative MPs are so useless that it has not been possible to give them any kind of responsibility?

    Or possibly over-occupied with extra-curricular activities?

  • It would be helpful if the main party website had these already loaded up and a full list of shadow portfolios could be accessed easily. At present (late afternoon on 7th Jan) there is no update on what was announced before Xmas.

    Not very professional.
