Shoulder Update.

Because I know you care. I've decided that my shoulder injury is a ligament injury rather then a muscle injury. These normally take weeks rather then days to heal properly. So instead of waiting for it heal fully I've been doing some light cardio-work in the hope it won't slow down the healing process.

In much less important news the UK Labour Party have announced they're a party without shame by today naming their shadow cabinet. Although they haven't realised it yet the Labour Party are now the UK's third political party behind the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. However they still get the opportunity to showboat for the gallery at Prime Minister's Question time. To this end their cabinet is the mix of the good and the so bad it looks like an MI5 stitch-up.

Of the good we have Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper as Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary respectively. These are the joint third most important cabinet positions behind the shadow Prime Minister, Ed Miliband. Ed Balls was a lot of peoples choice for the party leader. Making him Home Secretary keeps him within the leadership circle without putting him in a position where he would overshadow the leader. As his opposite number is Teresa May there is also a slight possibility that he will damage his reputation by being seen to overly attack a woman. Apart from being a very capable politician in her own right Yvette Cooper is also Ed Ball's wife. By making her Foreign Secretary she is also kept within the leadership circle and acts as open barrier between her husband and foreign diplomats.

Of the bad we have Alan Johnson as shadow Chancellor which is the second most important cabinet position behind the shadow Prime Minister. Alan Johnson is not so much a Union man as a man who worked his way up into politics through the trade union movement. Unfortunately he knows very little about economics but his sparring with George Osborne on behalf of the trade unions over the coming cuts should be good value. We also have Sadiq Kahn as Justice Minister which is probably the fourth must important position although the hierarchy starts to break down after Foreign Secretary. The Justice Secretary covers Prisons along aspects of Policing and National Security. Mr Khan is a Muslim. The perceived threat to British national security is from Muslim extremists and as such there are plenty of Muslims in British Prisons. Mr Khan looks like he's going to have a very interesting time in his new job.

I also got a call on my mobile phone. I couldn't be bothered to answer and haven't even checked. However I presume it's from Croydon Magistrates Court and therefore can wait until Monday.
