Whining Grimsby MP Onn Gets Front Bench Position For Labour

It really is unbelievable. Melanie Onn the MP for Grimsby has been made Shadow Leader of The House of Commons. This is the woman who described the front-bench Shadow positions of Health and Defence amongst others as "tea-making" positions, whilst whinging about there not being any women in power in Corbyn's Cabinet.. That really shows the contempt she holds the NHS and the Armed Forces in!
Please see here for my original post on this: http://steveodare.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/labour-mp-looks-down-on-armed-forces.html

The Leader of the House of Commons and the Shadow Leader are normally senior members of Parliament with the experience needed to be able to organise the business of the house i.e. the subjects that are allowed for debate and ensuring that the policies and bills etc. that need to be debated and voted on are on the agendas. As can be seen the roles are very important.

In the case of Miss Onn,she has been an MP since May 2015. She has held no positions of authority or responsibility in the Commons. She has no experience of parliament or the way it runs and should be run!

Compare this with the Leader of the House Chris Grayling, an MP since 2001 who has been Shadow Secretary of Sate for Transport, Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions and Shadow Home Secretary. Since 2010 he has served as Minister of State for Employment, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice before becoming Leader of the House.

So why do we think that Miss Onn has been given this, presumably in her eyes, non "tea-making" position? The only answer I can come up with is that she has a big gob and her big gob has frightened the the totally inept Corbyn into giving her a job! If anybody can think of another reason please do tell!

What a way to run a party!
