Starmer's vision quest

[AndyRM]

"There's the guy that's being hunted. Shall I call the police?'

"Nah, put it on Twitter, that'll be way more effective."

What a clown.

From Stephen Bush in the FT. I think this is why Starmer's getting the politics so wrong, in that he's trusting Glasman and McSweeney to tell him everything he needs to know, rather than gauging what the MPs are trying to tell him. If he wants to help both Reform and the Greens, he'll stick to his guns, and either stay in post and lose the next election, or be replaced by a fractious parliamentary party who aren't being listened to.

Lucy Powell elected deputy Labour leader, having been sacked as minister by Starmer not many weeks ago..

Maybe she can prize a gap between Starmer and Blue Labour (aka Reform Lite).
