Title: Shadow chancellor Post by: Peter H-K on May 11, 2015, 02:15:30 PM I see that, in a surprise move, Chris Leslie has been made Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. Can't imagine he'll be much good at it, though he'll probably write a few tuneful songs about Shadow Chancellors from days gone by, and may lighten up PMQs by singing his questions.

Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: Peter H-K on May 11, 2015, 04:04:42 PM Of course, what we'd really like to see is Peggy as PM.
Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: macademis on May 11, 2015, 04:16:11 PM Get Simon to have a word with Cam - he said he wouldn't see the term of this parliament out as PM, plenty of time to make a peerage or get him in to some rotten borough when the next tory snuffs it and Peggy's your man! Simples.

Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: mickf on May 11, 2015, 07:05:40 PM Good news for Chris, but will he have time for the band with all this shadowy stuff to do? Mind you, I'm still gutted about Cameron being a Villa fan!! :o
Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on May 11, 2015, 09:41:05 PM His constituency isn't too far from us.. Would rather have him as our MP than the one we've got!

Mind you, I'm still gutted about Cameron being a Villa fan!! :o ...or was it West Ham? Or maybe Burnley - they have those colours don't they? "Come on the claret and blue chaps! Play up and play the game!". Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: davidmjs on May 12, 2015, 09:20:38 AM Good news for Chris, but will he have time for the band with all this shadowy stuff to do?

Play up and play the game!". Burnley have already got a dodgy political fan (and the next King) - they don't need another! Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: macademis on May 12, 2015, 09:24:02 AM Alastair Campbell for King? How did I miss that????
Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: davidmjs on May 12, 2015, 09:26:38 AM Alastair Campbell for King? How did I miss that???? Now, that would be a worry. Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: Jules Gray on May 12, 2015, 09:32:08 AM Alastair Campbell for King? How did I miss that???? Now, that would be a worry. No more so than the actual real life lot. ::) Jules Title: Re: Shadow chancellor Post by: davidmjs on May 12, 2015, 09:35:21 AM I always used to think it was bizarre that Charlie was a Claret. Until you remember/realise that Burnley won the League Title in 1959-60 (when he was 11)....
