Reshuffles are part and parcel of politics. A quick google search reveals Cameron has undertaken one each year. Some members of the Tory Party are shifted about annually - as though it is 'jobs for the boys', despite being incompetent in their previous cabinet role.
I just wish MP's would listen to what members of their party want, rather than behave like spoilt kids.
I wouldn't say Jeremy's authority is starting to fall apart. Far from it in fact. I think he's quite right to remove those who have publicly tried to undermine him, as if he didn't, the media would still argue that it's falling apart!
I agree with the last point, and I've been saying this for years. The Lib Dems haven't became an irrelevance through their own mistakes between 2010-15. They've became an irrelevance because Labour has slowly drifted to the centre, through their army of career politicians.
Jeremy Corbyn received 152 CLP nominations, yet Corbyn only received 36. How can there be a irregularity of 116, if MPs were representing their constituencies?
