The article discusses the people who are considered the most prominent in Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn's circle. Seumas Milne, executive director of strategy and communications, is said to have the highest public profile among all of Corbyn's aides. Karie Murphy, Chief of staff, leader's office, is a loyalist and was closer to predicting the party's final vote share than anyone else in Corbyn's team. Others include Dave Ward, General secretary of the Communication Workers Union (CWU).

The article focuses on Anneliese Dodds, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer of Great Britain. It mentions Conservative government spending big during the COVID-19 pandemic, and an opponent Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who is a master of slick PR. It also mentions Shadow home secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds similarly struggles to make a huge impression, argues Dodds's sisterly defender.

Limb-sparing surgery for cancer of the lower extremity has ushered the development of composite, one-stage reconstructions that employ a combination of autologous tissues, bone allografts, and endoprosthetic devices. The success of these efforts in preserving limb function has been generally good, yet the ultimate level of function is less than normal. Microsurgery has assumed a progressively greater role in the reconstruction of composite defects and allows much latitude in the surgical planning and in the management of delayed complications. Although patients who opt for limb salvage reconstructions frequently require more operative procedures and have longer hospitalizations than patients undergoing primary amputation, their functional outcome surpasses that of the amputation group and thus justifies the surgical effort.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of ketorolac Toradol, a potent cyclooxygenase inhibitor used for postoperative pain, on microvascular thrombosis in an established thrombosis model. Bilateral 3mm arterial inversion grafts n66 were constructed in the femoral arteries of New Zealand White rabbits. ALZET ALZA Corporation, Palo Alto, Calif. osmotic pumps were implanted in the external jugular veins for drug delivery. The blinded protocol called for the experimental animals to receive intravenous doses of ketorolac of 1.72 mgkg per day group 1 or 3.44 mgkg per day group 2, while control animals received equivalent volumes of saline. Patency was assessed at 7 days.

Ministerial meetings in February and March pencilled rather than inked into diaries make this an unhappy Christmas for anxious cabinet members fearing redundancy in a coming reshuffle. Gavin Williamson must be fretting too that Boris Johnson will realise that a Debenhams shop-soiled mannequin would prove a better education secretary. Johnson-Sunak tensions aren't a Blair-Brown civil war, but nor is theirs a Cameron-Osborne bromance. [Extracted from the article]

COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL As he is the pin-up boy for the porkiest of pork-barrel politics, Robert Jenrick's shared responsibility for the £4bn "levelling up" slush fund is setting alarm bells ringing in Whitehall. Where the finger of suspicion points in the Downing Street inquiry into who leaked Boris Johnson's plan to impose the England-wide, month-long lockdown is discernible from this No 10 snout. His verdict on government players: Michael Gove is shifty, Alok Sharma clueless, Johnson annoyingly vague and falsely upbeat, while Sunak asks intelligent questions and is well briefed.

Sustained shameless self- promotion is backfiring on Rishi Sunak. One blue MP on the foreign affairs committee snarled Sunak's "an arse, an arse, I tell you" because he'd resisted the increase until forced to surrender. The second is Brexit: a sizeable chunk of the shadow cabinet are also aghast that Starmer favours Labour backing any deal, however bad. [Extracted from the article]

COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL Rambo Cummings blew himself up on the way out of Downing Street, dropping one of those imaginary grenades he'd unpin and mime throwing over a shoulder. Between the Cain Mutiny and fighting with Carrie "Princess Nut Nut" Symonds, Dom has as much chance of flying to Uranus as overseeing UK space policy. Johnson's dislike of personal confrontation prompted him to reassure departing Cummings and Cain he'd like to "get the band back together" at the next election. [Extracted from the article]

Start polishing the palace silver, rehearse the "Star-Spangled Banner" and prepare a carriage because Downing Street has concluded that a state visit grander than Donald Trump's red carpet treatment is the best way to woo Joe Biden. , as it is nicknamed, is atonement both for Boris Johnson's "part-Kenyan" dig at the US president-elect's former line manager, Barack Obama, and for indulgence of the loser barricading himself inside the White House. The UK ambassador is struggling, I'm told, to build meaningful bridges with Biden's team while "Britain's Trump" remains persona non grata. [Extracted from the article]

COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL Straining to appear regal in Zoom broadcasts with a Damien Hirst "spin painting" of the Queen behind him, for Matt Hancock fighting Covid-19 isn't enough. Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Dominic Cummings won't be happy when they discover he veered from the government's line that the UK will definitely be quids in from quitting the EU.

COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL Kevin Maguire Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Nye Bevan and Jennie Lee, Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper… Jeremy Corbyn and Laura Alvarez? Alvarez would have enlivened dreary NEC meetings with her molten desire to keep burning bright a Corbyn flame. The most intriguing mystery is which political journalist informed MI6 about Whelan's observations?. [Extracted from the article]

COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL Humiliations go from bad to worse for Gavin Williamson, an Education Secretary displaying the authority of a Year 7 pupil suppressing tears outside the headmaster's study as the principal demands his parents remove their ineffectual son from the school. My snout claimed Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen bellowed the latest nickname in front of an irritated Educashon Secretary. Once photographed wrestling a Daily Mirror headless chicken during his time as a Tory party apparatchik, government comms chief Alex Aiken's shake-up of the state propaganda machine includes a top perch for No 10 mouthpiece Lee Cain, who once dressed as a Daily Mirror fowl.

COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL Self-publicist extraordinaire Boris Johnson getting down on his hands and knees in the Downing Street den to perform a couple of gimmicky press-ups during an interview can't mask a weightier problem. Johnson's touted peerages for ex-Labour MPs who assisted the Conservative cause - such as Frank Field, Ian Austin and John Woodcock - is a jolly jape to anger Labour. The spirit of trade unionists Jack Jones and Hugh Scanlon has been revived in Tory and Labour whips' offices, where party barons control block votes, collecting proxies from stayaway MPs.

COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL Surviving longer as acting leader of the Liberal Democrats than Jo Swinson lasted in the actual job, Sir Ed Davey's got more questions than answers. Inquiries have included asking Education Secretary Gavin Williamson to create a nature conservation GCSE and a bid to flush out Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick on the closure of public toilets during the Covid-19 lockdown. Proctor also accuses Starmer of believing all complainants when he was DPP to advance his Labour career. [Extracted from the article]

By appointing Sedwill, who already juggles additional roles as head of the civil service and national security adviser, to a fourth job as lockdown-easing chief telephone salesman, Johnson is putting a lot of eggs in one Whitehall basket. The marginalisation of "Damaged Dom" Cummings continues. Fretting he'll never stand atop a public plinth now his popularity is waning across swathes of the country, jittery Johnson is keen to resume face-to-face meetings with rebellious Tory MPs.

More smarting than smart these days, Dominic Cummings isn't taking his fall from grace very well. Damaged Dom, who in his pomp would relish intimidating young Spads and had Sajid Javid's Treasury aide Sonia Khan escorted out of Downing Street by an armed police officer, is screeching that suddenly everybody's got it in for him. Downing Street is ringing business organisations and think tanks to beg for ideas for Johnson to deliver in his billed big speech on the future of Britain after the plague.

His popularity plummeting, waning Boris Johnson's toxic dependency on Dominic Cummings is likened to Theresa May's reliance on Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill. The Paymaster General, decried as "Poison Pen" by government whips, was shopped by a colleague who forwarded her messages asking MPs if they thought Cummings should go. The answer for Tea Room Tories puzzled that their newbie Nickie Aiken calls Labour wit Kevin Brennan "Sir" is that he taught the Westminster MP economics in a previous life.

The revolting cabinet is smarting after Boris Johnson turned humiliated secretaries of state into an army of Russian bots obediently tweeting cringing support for lockdown rule-making rule breaker Dominic Cummings. Battered ministers grumble saving Cummings is a booby prize not worth having. Talking of Gove, an eagle-eyed near neighbour of the Cabinet Office minister reports a "posh pink basket weave bike" locked at the front of Mickey's west London home. [Extracted from the article]

Bruised Boris Johnson waffling in No 10 about education, infrastructure and technology as three pillars in Britain's future is, muttered my snout, an increasingly frantic attempt by the PM's little helpers to paint their sugar daddy as a chap of action and thus shield him from coronavirus disasters. Labour culture vulture Jo Stevens accused a windmilling premier of secretly thinking "All Lazy Employees Return Tomorrow" whenever he mutters an "Alert" so confusing the only shock is that Johnson hasn't translated it into Greek. Maybe the Tory rag confused her with NEU co-general secretary "Kevin the Red" Courtney, a Welsh firebrand who puts the Marx into marking. [Extracted from the article]

Tetchy Boris Johnson was at his petulant worst, I'm told, in a conference call with the business lobby immediately after his televised address to a confused nation on 10 May. Former foreign minister Denis MacShane dubbed Kashmir "pure political poison for Labour" and recalled marches in Birmingham against Robin Cook when he committed a similar gaffe in 1995. The Lib Dems are considering a virtual conference in September to replace the Brighton shindig, and an online leadership contest. [Extracted from the article]

Resurrection man Boris Johnson is well versed in evading responsibility when anything goes wrong, so Matt Hancock and Michael Gove are left plotting for the other to carry the can over coronavirus PPE fiascos. Naive arrivistes in Downing Street accuse TUC chief Frances O'Grady of discussing economy-rescuing deals with - shock! I've therefore sacked the unpaid informant who told me it was a £16,000-a-year job like all the rest. [Extracted from the article]

COMMONS CONFIDENTIAL Hiding his intellect from MI5 and MI6, Chris "Failing" Grayling's appointment as chairman of parliament's intelligence and security committee would be the most inappropriate posting since Caligula considered making his horse a consul. The coronavirus emergency delayed Boris Johnson's plot to reward his fellow Brexiteer with the sensitive £16,000 post, the Prime Minister twisting Tory arms to vote for someone born on 1 April. The mystery of why the PM was so determined to risk a backlash by rewarding the man behind a no-deal £50m ferry fiasco was resolved by a Tory peer. [Extracted from the article]

Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock, Dominic Cummings, Chris Whitty… Covid-19 has forced into isolation the four big beasts in the No 10 team that orchestrated a national lockdown to stop the virus spreading, triggering mutterings about whether leaders practise what they preach. WhatsApp is the new bag "n" specs. The upside of south Wales plod criticising MP Stephen Kinnock for visiting dad Neil on his 78th with food, paracetamol and TLC for him and mother Glenys was that many old comrades got in touch to wish the ex Labour leader happy birthday.

Publicly on Boris Johnson and I'm told that Dominic Cummings isn't his usual cocky self. The puppet master pulling the Prime Marionette's strings did him no favours with bad advice, relying on herd immunity to keep down the coronavirus body bags. Johnson's chumocracy is anxious to reward a co-conspirator pipped to the defence committee seat by ex-minister Tobias Ellwood. [Extracted from the article]

Coronavirus chaos and mixed messages saw the government passing legislation to extend opening hours on the day the Prime Minister urged tipplers to stay out of pubs. With his opera diva wife Nevena publicly criticising coronavirus-infected Dorries, a Tory colleague demanded abrasive Bridgen should permanently self-isolate. Tory officer James Gray has instructed the peer not to attend after he was recorded calling the SNP lesbian MP Hannah Bardell "queer". [Extracted from the article]

Kevin Maguire Labour deputy leadership hopeful Rosena Allin-Khan is a true lifesaver. Allin- Khan, a qualified doctor who away from Westminster continues to do shifts in her local hospital's accident and emergency unit, commendably shunned the publicity. Allin-Khan's selflessness is rare in politics, when many MPs would eagerly attend the opening of a milk carton then brag about it if they knew it would assure them a page in the local paper.

The announcement of pram minister Boris Johnson's shotgun wedding and sixth child that we're able to identify was brought forward to divert public attention from a string of disasters, whispers my Tory snout. Johnson might fancy a country offering a Brexit trade deal. Conservatives who think Johnson would never conspire against another Brextemist should consult ditched Andrea Leadsom and Theresa Villiers.

Rod Lieutenant General David Leakey mobilised forces to block a peerage for former Commons Speaker John Bercow, prompting a snout to recall a previous clash between the establishment figure from the Lords and a taxi driver's son who championed change. Pressured into stepping down as interim chair of his old Leicester East constituency Labour party, I hear Keith "Jim the washing machine salesman" Vaz also remains sore over how he was forced to stand down as an MP. Having been suspended from parliament for six months over allegations he offered to buy drugs for sex workers and failed to cooperate with a Commons inquiry, Vaz was visited in hospital by Labour hit-women Karie Murphy and Amy Jackson.

Johnson's propaganda chief who used to dress as a Tory-taunting Daily Mirror chicken, is in a flap. The Labour machine is cranked up for Long-Bailey but Southside dissidents are fighting a rearguard action. Inside Labour's HQ a fundraising apparatchik was overheard telling a potential donor: "Of course we've got to do everything to stop that Rebecca Long-Bailey.". [Extracted from the article]

Symonds, the first girlfriend of government, is laying claim to a second unofficial title: the most interventionist partner of a prime minister in the modern era. Richard Burgon will secure fewer votes than nominations from MPs in Labour's deputy leader contest. Political gestures rarely turn stale quicker than thwarted Labour MP Clive Lewis's gift of a panettone to Barnsley comrade Steph Peacock, who stood in for him on the front bench.

Frustrated Tories are grumbling they don't count when Boris Johnson sits atop a commanding majority. Balls-Cooper wearing flat caps and calling everyone "duck" would challenge Yorkshire stereotypes. The bearded messiah's cultists face the irreconcilables who never accepted Corbyn's authority and are now fighting for any candidate not called Long-Bailey. [Extracted from the article]

Nigel Farage and Richard Tice's lavish bash reminds us that not everyone will be equal when flag-waving extremists gather in Parliament Square for their independence day. The Trot selling the SWP organ the Socialist Worker at a Blyth Valley Labour dinner - during which Jeremy Corbyn hailed a smiling Rebecca Long-Bailey as "our candidate for leader" - made the evening feel very 1980s. Peer Doug Hoyle's age is listed as 89 but a family member insists the father of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle is really 93. [Extracted from the article]

Civil war in Rebecca Long-Bailey's vanguard is the most intriguing side of Labour's leadership tussle. She ignored advice to distance herself from another player in the same faction, Richard Burgon, and his assertion that Labour won the arguments in the election despite losing 60 seats. Party workers await his book on how Labour won the 2019 election. l Kevin Maguire is the associate editor (politics)of the Daily Mirror. [Extracted from the article]

Her key parliamentary aide, Alex "I'm not a Stalinist" Halligan, is taking a job working for Stockport's new MP Nav Mishra. Labour MPs along the corridor aren't putting out the bunting. Hustling MPs are demanding jobs in return for backing Labour wannabe leaders. [Extracted from the article]

Intriguingly the candidate's flatmate, Angela Rayner, argued the shadow chancellor couldn't be seen pulling her friend's strings after Labour's defeat. Small business minister Kelly Tolhurst was bemused at congratulations from a Commons doorkeeper on becoming a grandmother, at the age of 41: she and Angela Rayner are viewed as sisters separated at birth. Emily Thornberry's text to Mark Tami commiserating over the loss of his seat surprised the Labour pairing whip: in a North Wales blue tsunami, he survived in red Alyn and Deeside by 213 votes.
