It is perfectly in order for him to employ anyone he sees fit to and who he believes will do a good job for him.
I would support anyone's right to do so.

David Cameron for instance employed at least one and likely other shady characters to top positions with himself.

My only issue here is and it is sad it is the case or needs to be,is that he knows he has a media against him.
He knows Labour is well behind at present in polling,( not the margin the polls are saying I would say however).

He is trying supposedly, to rebuild a confident party to have a message and get that message across.
He really has to be sensitive to that fact and make sure near all he does and says,also who he appoints are not going to invite more negativity and controversy.

Take away any senseless ammunition that can be handed to opponents on a plate.

He'd be far better setting out to try to help get Sinn Feinn MPs who are elected to Westminster legitimately in elections, to actually come to Westminster and take their seats there, to then help reduce this govts, fragile overall majority even further by their opposing votes.
