Angela Rayner snubbed from top security committee chaired by Keir Starmer
The Deputy Prime Minister does not have a permanent seat on the UK's National Security Council (NSC) in a break with former practice.
The committee, chaired by the Prime Minister, includes Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden,
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Defence Secretary John Healey and Attorney General Lord Hermer also have permanent membership.
Maybe the spectacle of Angela bouncing around in Ibiza had something to do with it, but imagine having to explain things to both Angela Rayner and David Lammy.
On the other hand, avoiding a few committees may be more gain than loss. That was my experience.
But perception goes out of committees. The more committees you belong to, the less of ordinary life you will understand. When your daily round becomes nothing more than a daily round of committees you might as well be dead.

National Security Council, Supreme Court - the dimwits can't resist apeing American titles, can they?
