Please do let me know how the infighting within the Labour Party goes when they invariably take the keys to No.10.

I’d rather pull my own fingernails out thanks. I don’t do Twitter and who is Rachel?

Edit: social media full stop.

and who is Rachel?

prominent part of the lefty Corbyn crew who despise Starmer. A good example of Labour in fighting between idealism and electability.

I'm a broken record on this, I know.  Both Labour and the Tories are uneasy coalitions.  In both cases, far too broad.  There is no way that ERG/Libertarian and One Nation wings of the Tory party will ever co-exist happily; and likewise, the Corbynite and Centrist wings of Labour.

Reason these uneasy coalitions are necessary = FPTP, which punishes parties that split into smaller groupings.  Increased internal in-fighting is just one of prices we pay for failing to adopt a proportional voting system.  Starmer and Corbyn should not have to co-exist in the same political body.  And neither should Ken Clarke and Suella Braverman.  It's a farce.

I do have some sympathy in that it was a tough time, and furlough had to be rolled out quickly.

On a positive note, how many women PM’s have the whiter than white saintly Luvie Labour Party had? And they’re second in the race to appoint a non white PM too. Please do let me know how the infighting within the Labour Party goes when they invariably take the keys to No.10.

I find it not a little ironic that the prominent mps from visible ethnic minorities that have come to the fore in the Tory leadership in recent years are ALL such anti-woke, down with affirmative action/ positive discrimination, I pulled myself up by my own bootstraps types, when pretty much all of them came into parliament on the back of Cameron's priority list of Tory candidates designed to provide exactly the sort of positive discrimination they claim to oppose. I think Truss came in via the same route.

When Labour had all women shortlists (they don't anymore because the gender balance in the PLP is reasonable currently) they were slagged off for it. Cameron got slaughtered by the media for the priority list. But the same people that did the slagging are now swanning around claiming their party is a lesson to all in racial equality whilst conveniently forgetting how they got there.

And let's not pretend that sticking a handful of Old Etonians and  Old Wykamists with African or Asian heritage into top jobs makes their party any more representative of the British population.

On a funnier note I see Paul Mullins doesn't can't Rishi and his pals much!
