Blow for Starmer as sacked Cabinet minister Lucy Powell wins Labour deputy leader contest
Keir Starmer suffered another blow today as Lucy Powell was named as his new Labour deputy.
Ms Powell - who was sacked from the Cabinet by the PM just last month - saw off Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson in the contest.
She received 87,407 votes compared to 73,536 for her rival, although the turnout was just 16.6 per cent.
Gosh a turnout of 16.6 per cent is impressive, at the moment that counts as wild enthusiasm.

It's almost as if the Labour party voters are trying to tell Starmer something. I suspect they will have to speak louder before he takes notice.
