Yep, Corbyn was given a mandate by the Labour members and the shadow cabinet should be reflective of those views.

He's really uniting the party old Jezza. :handbags:
And the MPs were given a mandate by their constituents and have to represent those views.
Hence another three shadow cabinet bods resigning today. Still think it's going well Vis?
If the MPs in question cant support the party platform then its entirely fitting that they resign, yes.
Corbyn wasn't a frontbencher at the time though.
I agree. MP's should support the party platform, just as Mr Corbyn used to do. Except for the 500 times he voted against his own party.

That's called good leadership. Allowing your MP'S a free vote is good.If that's so, how come cameron has been forced to back down on his own stated position re eu campaigning?

Shame about Pat McFadden he's a fine MP and certainly no 'Blairite', seems Jeremy's broad church ain't that broad.
As I'm sure you're aware, the Conservative Party will give its MPs a free vote on EU as they can't come to a consensus. How is this any different from what has happened in the Labour Party of late and are you going to equally condemn those MPs who vote against the party platform?
Disagreements are fine and expected, which is what Corbyn wanted. Undermining the current party direction and its leader are not. It's all very well having a different view point but if you're going to be a tw*t about it then the sacking is correct.
