Jeremy Corbyn is fighting for his political life – but everything’s rosy according to his fans, who have hailed his desperation shadow cabinet as “the most diverse ever”.
After more than 50 MPs abandoned his alternative government, Corbyn has been frantically offering positions to any allies willing to take them.
Expertise is running in short supply – for instance nobody from Wales will take the Wales brief – but Momentum campaigners quickly found a silver lining:

Clueless Corbynistas posted photos of female, working-class and ethnic minority MPs to rally support.
One of them (Pat Glass, middle row, left), awkwardly, has already quit – but according to team Momentum their identities will make up for their total lack of experience.
At least 4 Welsh MPs have turned down the Shadow Welsh Secretary's role in the shadow cabinet, according to a Labour source.

Meanwhile the rest of the Labour party remained unimpressed by their leader’s new faces.

Former acting leader Harriet Harman called on Corbyn to resign, after he lost a motion of no confidence in his leadership by 172 votes to 40.
Even David Cameron – usually keen to let Corbyn flail to the advantage of the Conservatives – urged his opponent to call it a day “in the national interest”.
"For heaven’s sake man, go!"

Seems like he has diverse enemies, too.
