SIR –That Tristram Hunt and Chris Leslie have declined their positions in the Shadow cabinet is good riddance. Let’s hope that residual influence does not furnish them with lucrative co-opted establishment positions.
However it is sad that the five ladies have taken their racquets home, for they could exercise the female prerogative of a change of mind and expertly further the democratic wishes of the now involved electorate.
I suggest that Messrs Hussain, Cummins and Shah should show their colours and tell us, their employers, where they stand in the new regime.
