You will all know the above woman is Glenys Kinnock, promoted in the labour party only because she was the wife of the ex-leader who lost labour an election. Of course, along with her husband they have made millions out of politics. Her husband is a major player in the company which makes our electronic counting machines which, I am weary repeating, should be dumped with immediate effect. Any computerised system can be manipulated.
She is to be elevated to the House of Lords and her title will be Minister for Europe. That's now three unelected people (by my count) on Gordon Brown's front bench - Peter Mandelson, the soon to be Lord Sugar of Tate & Lyle and now Glenys Kinnock. Having the unelected party faithful on the front bench should be banned immediately because it devalues the little amount of democracy left in this country.
I haven't seen the news for the past hour but I understand Caroline Flint has now resigned. This was the woman who was singing Brown's praises less than 24 hours ago. There will be more to this than meets the eye so I shall wait patiently for the six o'clock news.
