Pollard gone from shadow cabinet

Jim McMahon becomes shadow environment secretary, replacing Luke Pollard


Luke is a very good MP IMHO.

Myself and @Cows 'n grass met him at HOP few years ago.
Good listener

Surely Labour could find someone who at least had a country background as Shadow Environment secretary. But maybe a blank canvass comes with no preconceptions.

They accused Usless of being "too close to the industry", so I dare say they'd go out of their way to find someone with as little knowledge and understanding of the countryside as possible to be honest.

I agree. Shame he’s gone. Very supportive of SW fishing.

Luke has a 100% urban constiuancy.
No pre conceptions

At least they haven't got the Vegan lass that Corbyn had in the position...
