THE NEW SHADOW CABINET

Jeremy Corbyn mocked on social media as he announces new top team and nobody knows who they are

Twitter comes up with "helpful" suggestions for the Shadow Cabinet

Jeremy Corbyn

WITH Jeremy Corbyn quickly running out of loyal MPs to fill posts in his top team, internet jokers have stepped up with some “helpful” suggestions.

Using comical images of the Labour leader they have tweeted a series of false announcements about what, rather than who, has been given jobs in the shadow cabinet.

It comes after a dramatic series of resignations with two-thirds of Corbyn's top team quitting as they tried to force him out.

And he has been told he has lost the support of the Parliamentary Labour Party and is due to face a no confidence ballot tomorrow.

While some Twitter users were inspired by his love of vegetables and his first taste of Irn Bru while in Scotland, some went for his leftie roots and joked he might have to try appointing Stalin or Lenin or take on some of the jobs himself.

And one Twitter user highlighted his time campaigning with Sinn Fein during the Troubles, suggesting Gerry Adams should be appointed as Labour’s representative in Northern Ireland.
