Good. Rayner the person is decent but her team is not.
An electable Labour can’t have two people disagreeing Watson-Corbyn style. Deputy Leader is outdated that oversaw its existence after Prescott, the last true successful Deputy, left in 2007. I’d happily scrap it. And I hope it happens.
Deputy Leader feels quite meaningless anyways – it doesn’t really have any powers aside from oh look at me I’m elected as well as the leader – except Deputy doesn’t matter pretty much at all.
Starmer has shown himself to be antidemocratic (hiding his anti-democratic aims to change leadership elections he wanted to push through from members until after he was elected, and giving up on basically all his pledges he made to the membership), so this attack on a membership elected post would not be out of character, and there have been lots of rumours of a Starmer/Rayner rift. But it is the Daily Mail so could be a load of BS.
There goes the most aggressively boring politician I’ve ever seen.
This is just a headline with no basis in fact.
he is basically tory bliar mk2. him and his cohorts in the establishment are teh ones that need to go.
