Inevitable I suppose. Labour needs a posh, titled, London-based millionaire QC to reconnect with those northern heartlands.
After she took on the role full-time, representing the Stockport branch, she featured in a Guardian series called A Working Life.
At the time, her office was covered in newspaper clippings, picturing her with Gordon Brown and Ed Milliband at Labour Party conferences.
She told the reporter that people always underestimated her, adding: "I'm a pretty young woman, lots of red hair, and everyone expects me to be stupid when I walk into a meeting for the first time.
“I'm not stupid and most people know that now, but I still like to be underestimated because it gives me an edge. It gives me a bit of stealth."
That would be some form of loud stealth presumably.

Starmer, despite his posh background, is a total nonentity. I can picture him, with his daft quiff and anxious costive stare, but not a thing he has ever said has stuck.
Apparently he claimed that his dad was a toolmaker, which in a way was true, in that he owned a factory that made tools.
Well, he helped make wee Kier.
He would like to think.
The Labour party can't it seems help themselves, having given 'crayons' the job of shadow education secretary, a suitable post for someone with no education other than how to get pregnant at 15, she has now been elevated to the post of deputy leader of the party, still with Diane Abbott 'retiring' into the background we needed someone of similar status to receive the brickbats.
The Labour party suffers from a large core of members who really do believe people like 'crayons' are suitable for positions of high state, the only good thing about it is that Starmer who is in the running for the worlds most boring man now has a personal distraction working ? alongside.
Sam - the toolmaker claim was odd. Either he was being transparently dishonest or he doesn't acknowledge toolmakers as toolmakers if they don't own their own factory. He certainly does come across as a total nonentity but strangely successful too. As if he is useful rather than capable.
Doonhamer - wee Keir?
Wiggia - as one wag wrote - she left school with more kids than GCSEs. You are right, the Labour party does suffer from a large core of members who believe people like her are suitable for positions of high state. It's a major problem with our democracy.
Resembling Max Headroom or Kriton from Red Dwarf, riskier armrest(anag.) is a strangely weird-looking cove. Probably-futile efforts to inject a personality will commence after CV19 restrictions have been lifted.
Ed - he is a weird-looking cove. Always looks uncomfortable to me, as if he is only there because he thinks he is being socially responsible towards the peasants. Those efforts to inject a personality could be entertaining though.
