How do you rate the shadow cabinet?

By Mark Ferguson / @markfergusonuk

There are reshuffle rumours in the air in Liverpool this week, with many members of the shadow cabinet potentially giving speeches that could decide whether they’ll be staying or going. So what do LabourList readers think about the shadow cabinet? (if they think about some of them at all…).

The popularity table is as follows:

1: Cooper
2: Balls
3: Burnham
4: Alexander
5: Harman
6:= Denham
6:= Murphy
8: Benn
9: Hain
10: Khan
11: Jowell
12: Healey
13: Eagle (Angela)
14: Flint
15: Byrne
16: Lewis
17: Eagle (Maria)
18: Creagh
19: Winterton
20: Hillier
21: Woodward
22: McKechin

Does this match with Ed’s thinking? Many of these shadow cabinet members have suffered from a low media profile – often through no fault of their own, but will they still be made to pay the price for that?
