Criticism?

It might be premature, but would a "Criticism" section regarding things like the difficulty filling Defence (which I do have a sourced quote of Bryant denying the role, certainly not accepting, though what is our position on the journalists who wrote articles on overhearing the process??), Creasy denying the Youth role given to De Piero (who also apparently declined Defence along with Powell, who had wanted Education), "doing a Mandelson" with Eagle to stick a women at the top alongside the response to McDonnell getting Shadow Chancellor over her and the amount of London MPs, never mind about policy, be something we could do? Therequiembellishere (talk)

we don't need to be a newspaper or a political gossip column. Are these points really things that are encyclopedic and are likely to merit inclusion looking back after a decent period of time when the cabinet has actually had a chance to do some things? JMiall ₰ 04:00, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with User:JMiall here, especially as some of the "criticism" was sourced from the Daily Mail. If any seriously notable criticism exists, please clarify what it is. Does not seem to be an unfair amount of London MP's though. AusLondonder (talk) 04:18, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really understand why AusLondonder keeps bringing up the Daily Mail as if it's my only source. Literally every news source has covered these critiques, most of which is from within Labour itself as it has seldom been seen before, especially for a new leader. I'll take JMiall's point that much of it is likely to blow over (however interesting it may be), but I'm a little peeved that I seem to be coming off as some Mail reader because I used it as a source once for what was frankly a well made (though condescending) chart detailing the shuffle from Harman to Corbyn's cabinets. Honestly, pick up a paper and you'll see each and everyone one of the points I raised mentioned. Therequiembellishere (talk) 07:49, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but what is the specific criticism that needs mentioning? AusLondonder (talk) 18:12, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Full June 2016 Resignations

The Telegraph has a full list of the 60 frontbench resignations so far, just in case it needs referencing somewhere. The article itself is unrelated, I just saw the list at the bottom and thought it'd be worth saving somewhere. [1] Therequiembellishere (talk) 05:44, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Current Shadow Cabinet of Jeremy Corbyn

This template needs updating - all we need are the currents members in the template not all the previous members, those details can and are mentioned in the article. Govindaharihari (talk) 07:02, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Shadow Cabinet of Jeremy Corbyn is the current Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet of the United Kingdom; is there any particular reason why the exact same entity should have two separate pages?2A00:23C4:4F07:1000:51ED:B111:9877:ABB1 (talk) 19:07, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because the official shadow cabinet changes from time to time and this article incorporates those changes, whereas the other one doesn't, and reflects only the current position. Remember also that Corbyn won't always be leader of the opposition. This is Paul (talk) 19:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
