Lucy Powell elected as new deputy leader of the Labour party. Certainly not what Starmer would have wanted as she's got the balls to challenge him. Complete opposite of Phillipson and Rayner. Confirms the majority of party members want something different.
Part of me wanted the Sunderland lass but I think Powell will have more balls to take on McSweeney. I also think the surge of the Greens may pull Labour away from, as Powell describes, trying to out Reform Reform and govern with values. I tho n she’s spot on. Labour have some good policies but spoil it by not having the knackers to take on wealth and invest in their policies and doing dumb things to try and look hard.
