NO PLACE FOR SALFORD MP REBECCA LONG BAILEY IN SHADOW CABINET
 

Star date: 5th April 2020

KEIR STARMER IGNORES SALFORD MP FOR TOP JOBS

New Labour Party Leader, Keir Starmer, has rejected and ejected Salford and Eccles MP Rebecca Long Bailey as he announced his shadow cabinet top jobs this afternoon.

Shadow cabinet posts went to Anneliese Dodds (Chancellor), Nick Thomas-Symonds (Home Secretary) and former leadership rival Lisa Nandy who becomes shadow Foreign Secretary.

Full details here...


Salford and Eccles MP Rebecca Long Bailey was ignored by new Labour Party leader, Keir Stramer, when he announced senior members of his shadow cabinet this afternoon.

The Salford MP was formerly shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet but when the new Labour leader announced new senior members of that cabinet, her name was ominously missing – although the role of shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has not been filled as yet.

Rebecca Long Bailey polled just 27.6% of the vote for Labour Party leader, coming second in the race, but still had the backing of over 135,000 Party members...which one might assume would put her in line for a top shadow cabinet post. Lisa Nandy who polled 79,597 votes, or 16.2% of the poll, has been handed the role of shadow Foreign Secretary.

Other members of the shadow cabinet include... Anneliese Dodds (Chancellor), Nick Thomas-Symonds (Home Secretary), Angela Rayner (Deputy Leader), Jon Ashworth (Health) and Nick Brown (Chief Whip)…

Update: 6th April - Rebecca Long Bailey appointed shadow Education Secretary

Get a grip citizens, no more name calling about FELSE. Over 10,500 uk CONFIRMED deaths now and rising daily with this "big flu bug" and that is only the CONFIRMED cases we know about.. Don't judge a book by its cover and don't judge anybody until you have met him. We all know where FELSE lives on swanky salford quays, if you want to talk or name call the geezer, go to his apartment, Nobody cares about FELSE.. So citizens of salford. GET A GRIP. sadly people are dying.

Many people find Michael Felse amusing. Sometimes he is a political tosser. Sometimes he is a fund raising drag queen. In professional times he has trained 4000 Health Workers. MIchael is also a highly respected Company Director across the World. I am pleased to be a friend and ask that Wrote person to grow up. In Spanish we have the word Mojon most befitting for Ms Wrote.

i am not a labour supporter mr felse i think you are an immature chronic insecure attention seeker with deeply unprincipled character defects and mark my words as a true salfordian you have no chance of gaining any power in this city if you want to fill your sad frustrated life with something to do join the tosser bob a self confessed tosser i always thought he was because he writes such inane nonsense on this site and go litter picking and do something useful for society instead of boring the arse of people with your me me me self indulgent rubbish .

Bob the Reg had me belly laughing. Quite a vision and am sure you know Labour supporters on here see me as a tosser. It is a good thing for people to suggest the ridiculous giving us all some light entertainment at these difficult times. I hear no vaccine for a year maybe on the horizon. That means Government must look at online vote elections from Council Tax payers. With the local elections now due in May 2021 it gives enough time to compile. That will mean a 100% turn out. I much welcome taking part as an anti Labour tosser - tossing them into losing control of Salford Council. Bring it on.

APPARENTLY dominic raab is still able to wage a military war while johnson is hospitalised perhaps he can launch a missile and kill that pesky virus .the government have announced 750 million pounds in handouts to charities no doubt some deserve the money to maintain hospices and carer services and quite rightly should be given state aid however some of these charities have massive liquid assets and should not get a penny of taxpayers money to maintain the high wages that CEO AND EXECUTIVES receive . when this crisis is over and the accounts are settled and this government is held to account for its destruction of public services and neglect its despicable widening of the gap between the rich and poor and its lazy attitude and inept response to this crisis i hope that the tory party and its free market privatising acolytes are kicked into the rubbish bin of history along with the charity sector we want social justice not charity .

Never voted for him but let’s face it this Corona saga teaches us to always expect the unexpected. I am a Conservative Party fully paid up member and I like how he keeps pushing reminds me of one who cares not about himself. A happy hearted wealthy man is worth ten sour nasty bitter idiots. Maybe the time is right for a different type of Mayor. I actually hope he will be our candidate.

Who says Felsey has a zero chance of being Mayor? Cast your mind back to Hartlipool. This is a place where the working class used to vote Labour more religiously than they do in Salford.Stuart Drummond, a Salford educated lad and an independant,won election standing as a monkey 3 times in succession. We could get Felsey to get one of them fancy dress costumes, a tosser one would be ideal.This would no doubt appeal to the vulgar nature most people in Salford seem to have. The question is simple. Would you vote for a tosser? Most people in Salford already do, and if Felsey stands as a tosser, me and all my mates will vote for him.A quick telephone poll of my mates has confirm a couple of dozen voters who love the idea.Whats the deposit for a mayoral candidate? I think its five grand. Well, me and my pals will throw hundred quid in to get the ball rolling. The Tosser Party. I like the sound of that.

I would enjoy having the debate with wrote on why I see ours as a Great Country. Where the public join minds in society cohesion, with freedom and equality legal rights for all, work opportunities along with good education, health and wellbeing with real quality of life through peace and greater care towards all people in need even at a time when our lives need determination to conquer the unseen enemy. I am glad I live here, I even welcome the diverse opinions of different political parties bringing varied options into debate. I look forward to getting back to normal, seeing friends, enjoying our countryside, even getting beaten again and again in local elections would be a tonic because what matters is taking part to protect our way of life and make sure our country stays a great and caring place to live.

Fact is Labour northern heartlands have been decimated by its London team. Momentum has been shown the door. I demand this woman resigns to cause an election in Salford more in tune with the reality of the majority ditching momentum. The left will never come to power in our Nation not even in the Labour Party. Yes I am feeling good about her failing to win. Labour is a joke.

Alice is right here, there is something going on here. I understand Miss Becky was happy in the business secretary role, to be honest ,I thought she was still in it under Steptoe. That shifty Tosser Starmer has left that post unfilled for a purpose. If he gets plenty of stick from her mates on the left, then he'll give it her. If he gets a bit he won't. He has had plenty of time the last few months to consider all his options. Anyway, Starmer will never be PM,unless Boris does something really stupid. Labour lost Scotland, and without Scotland they can never win. Starmer is too London centric to get nicola Sturgeons mob on board, though his pro europe stance might please her.

Brilliant, RLB it is your own fault for being Up Jeremy Corbyn’s arse and trying to be a female version of him, he wrecked this party, as a cabinet minister, well when she was, they would not allowed her to stand up at PM questions because she was on the shadow cabinet but now she’s not let’s hope she does stand up for Salford and speak for us instead of rambling on as she always does

Something fishy here! RLB has worked hard for the party and is clever enough to deserve a position. It somehow seems spiteful. This dismissing will not do Keir any good. Maybe a position is on the way....hope so.

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
