I wonder whether Keir (or Rebecca or Lisa) will even want to make many Shadow Cabinet changes at this stage. Maybe merely appoint successors to John McDonnell, Diane Abbott and whoever else stands down but make few if any other changes.
I think some shuffling is inevitable. I do hope Keir gets it, he is probably the most moderate of the lot, though I do feel he will be a caretaker leader as I don't think Labour will win the next general election after our jolly to the hard left put so many people off. i went to the leadership hustings in Durham and I was infuriated by Long-Baily endlessly harping on that the polices announced at the last GE were still right.
My main worry though is Momentum, they have been infiltrated by the right (including my ex) with the sole purpose of causing as much harm to the party as possible and ensure they remain unelectable. Without that going on, Momentum is already pure poison.
