Punk not dead http://femjoy.in.net femjoyhunter Liam Byrne never had to resign from the Shadow Cabinet to run for Birmingham Mayor, because unluckily for him the people of Birmingham overwhelmingly rejected the idea. Yet Ed Miliband none the less sacked him from the Labour policy review post he held. Now Byrne has his mind back on Westminster politics he may be able to bring some of the independent and original thought he was known for. He is wholly influential on welfare policy, but seems disengaged, instead publishing a book on China. Until he gets his head back in the game he will languish in the lower half of these rankings.
