Labour suspends Angela Rayner's aide amid 'rising hostilities between the deputy leader and Keir Starmer'
- Jack McKenna is under investigation on suspicion of a 'personal data breach'
- Claims he briefed press about potential sacking of another party staff member
- Mr McKenna, who is head of Ms Rayner's communications, denies the allegation
Alternatively. the political class as a whole is becoming irrelevant and this kind of upheaval is not particularly important.

She's the Pamela Harlot to Sir Kneel's Biden.
(Just to cheer us all up by reminding us that the most heavily armed country in the world is ruled by a demented dimwit with a worthless second-in-command.)
Starmer must have thought at one point that having a foul-mouthed dimwit who looks like a barmaid would appeal to the "working class". Just shows how out of touch he is, especially when his voter base is more familiar with the Mosque than Coronation Street.
@Sam: he doesn't get to choose the Deputy Leader, she was elected. Can you imagine!
Imagine the quality of person voting for Rayner. Still, better than Wrong Daily, MP for Eccles cakes.
They're an odd bunch in the Labour party nowadays! Mainly thick, with stupid ideas that most normal citzens shrug off and forget immediately!
I used to think that heavyweights like Denis Healey really meant something when in opposition, but this lot are just numpties, and will probably stay the same fake-leftie bunch of oddities!
I'll make a sweeping generalisation that Labour has become the Outrage Party. Their MPs and members looking at particular political aspects of our society and being outraged. They have little attention to spare for making things better generally, unlike the best of Labour politicians previously.
Unfortunately for Labour their feelings of outrage are scattered and not considered important by the general electorate. There is very little 'outrage' for the working man, the treatment of gay people, scattered outrage for anti-Zionism (cough), feminism, sexism, transism(?) or racism. The economy and jobs are just too boring to be outraged about. It seems that the only 'outrage' Labour have in common is hatred of the Evil Tories, but this alone is not enough to form the backbone of a party. And not enough to engage the support of the general population.

Not only the Labour Party. The Conservatives are considering taking away the driving licences of drug users. Do they imagine that said users will cease driving around? But without licences, they won't be able to buy Insurance. How should the rest of us view a potentially large increase in the number of uninsured drivers and the risk (and cost) of their colliding with us?
@dearieme
Thanks, I'd forgotten that. It means, God help us, that the members who voted must have thought that a foul-mouthed dimwit who looks like a barmaid, etc...
Should 'crayons' be deposed, which is unlikely because of the system that voted her in in the first place, there is a wonderful selection of 'wimin' to fill her shoes, why they could even bring Claudia Belarus Webbe back into the fold, or old front benchers such as Abbacus or Dawn Butler who once claimed 90% of Giraffes were gay! or even the repulsive racist Naz shut up for the sake of diversity Shah.
How Labour have managed to corner the market in this type of woman must be a deliberate policy, or am I being grossly unfair.......
dearieme and Sam - a significant number of Labour insiders must think she could pave the way for something they want. That will be something sane people definitely don't want.
James - I would care to choose between them even though I do like Eccles cakes.
Scrobs - yes they are an odd bunch, but voters are painfully slow to work out how odd they really are and vote elsewhere.
DJ - that's a good summary. The outrage feels like middle class outrage to me and as you say, not part of normal life.
decnine - yes it's just a headline grabber. Somebody else will have to deal with the consequences.
Wiggia - it's part of the drift away from real life. Possibly not a deliberate policy but an unintended consequence of their inability to select people with some degree of gravitas or their inability to spot gravitas in the first place. Or the lack of it.
