    Well. With all this pointless faffing around that Streeting and Rayner seem to be set on, it looks like Burnham may get the chance to challenge for the leadership after all.

  4. @ChrisMayLA6 It's good news for #Rayner personally, but not great for politics.

    Rayner is an over-hyped flake, with poor judgement and no vision. She has some support in the party membership, but less support in parliament.

    She can probably beat the awful #PrincelingOfDarkness (#Streeting), but she can't beat #ReformUK

  5. #TheGuardian's #MarinaHyde is the UK's queen of political snark. Today, she generously sprays well-calibrated snark over #Starmer and all his wannabe successors. archive.is/9uy3X

    I particularly enjoyed her reminder of the deep flaws of #AndyBurnham. A large chunk of #LabourParty's remaining people who are not actually rightwingers seems to be fixated on #Burnham as a messiah. I don't buy it. Nor does Marina Hyde.

    Thankfully, Hyde is no nicer about #Rayner, Streeting & Miliband.

    #Rayner was the last chance saloon for anyone who thought the left of the party might re-emerge. Standing by #Starmer puts the kibosh on that, so #Labour will now be cast adrift as yet another Rightist party. The #Greens are now the only party on the Left.

  7. Wikipedia has a guide for editors called WP:SPIDERMAN ("No climbing the Reichstag dressed as Spider-Man") en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi . Basically, don't throw your toys out of the pram.

    The #Starmtroopers have gone full #Spiderman. Having driven the #LabourParty's polling numbers off a cliff, they now want to weaponise against #Rayner the unelectability which #Starmer & co created. And they use the #Torygraph as their megaphone: archive.is/GHJAs. #YCMTSU.

  8. @linuxgnome I was just writing about the strangely perverse tactical choices facing the various would-be leaders of #LINO.

    In terms of their conduct and political values, I find them all curious shades of grim. #Rayner has sharp elbows as you rightly note, but also a record on policy which is much much less principled than she likes to present it.

    Rayner is more politically skilled than the inept #Starmer, tho that's a low bar. And she tells a good story. But I'd not vote for any of them.

  9. UK's #LabourParty is in crisis. Disgraced #Starmer should be gone already, but the succession is broken.

    Frontrunner #Burnham is excluded. #Rayner is most popular alternative, but busy with #HMRC. Ambitious rightwingers #WesStreeting & #ShabanaMahmood can win only if Rayner is still on the bench.

    So the incentives are inverted. Rayner is the most anti-Starmer candidate, but needs him to stay on. #Starmtroopers #Streeting & Mahmood need Starmer gone now.

    This will be dirty. #Popcorn!

  10. The fallout from #Mandelson and #Epstein relating to just #Palantir could bring down not only #Starmer, but #Streeting and #Healey too.

    Who will be the beneficiary? #Rayner ?

  11. We determined the other day on here with the resignation that the is the unit of measurement for financial impropriety in political life (cheers Michelle)…so what is the measurement we must now use to determine the gravity of crime for supporting the world’s richest and most famous pedophile and human trafficker?

  16. Now that the corporate media have successfully claimed Rayner's scalp by digging into her taxes, I'm sure they will next turn their attention to a forensic examination of the way the #FrogFacedGrifter avoids tax by getting paid for his media appearances via a limited company rather than to him directly, and will not rest until they have determined whether it is in 100% compliance with IR35 rules, right?

    Right?

  17. Why do governments think reshuffles will improve things? With one obvious exception the new cabinet is all the same people but doing different jobs. This means none of them will know what they're doing for at least 6 months. #government #Rayner #reshuffle

  18. Angela #Rayner: Hands off our allotments

    #ToxicLabour

    We call on you to stop any further #sell-offs of our precious #allotments and to reverse any sales that can be reversed.

    Listen to local people.

    Once allotments have been sold off, they are lost forever.
