According to Labour party rules at least 6 women have to be elected to the shadow cabinet…….There are 13 women on the list……Of these – Yvette Cooper is a shoo-in. Caroline Flint and Tessa Jowell also very likely. I wonder if Diane Abbott and Emily Thornberry will split Labour MPs on the left. I don’t know much about the others – but they have just under a 50% chance of being elected.
Isn’t that lovely? Gender tokenism means that peeps that even a hardened political anorak like Sunny have no clue about must, must, get elected.

A hardened anorak sounds like just what one needs to survive out there.

That, in a nutshell, sums up just why Labour are bound for a long, long spell on the backbenches….
