This is a tad frustrating as it doesnt tell us what their responsibilities are.
Can anyone save me the hassle and tell me who our a. sport and b. disabilities spokespeople are?
Thx
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…
Paul Rowen is disability and Don Foster I think all DCMS issue (and there don’t seem to be any other DCMS spokespeople).
And how many Lib Dem MPs does this leave WITHOUT a job in Nick Clegg’s new team?

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.
It has been Nigel 🙂

There are some more updates being done still (e.g. individual people’s biographies) but the core information is there.
