More new faces should be brought forward

Such a major reorganisation of the Shadow Cabinet (earlier today), only three months after they were put in place, looks a bit lackadaisical.

Instead of the usual contenders (Ed Balls, Yvette Cooper, Douglas Alexander - all of whom led the Labour Party to failure in May 2010) perhaps more new faces should be brought forward, such as Chris Evans MP for Islywn (Fabian Society and the Co-operative Party).

And someone needs to tell the Labour Party that whatever the merits of their argument the performance they are putting on in the House of Lords is a PR disaster (it looks terrible on television, with decrepit old codgers droning on about any old rubbish that comes into their heads).
