Blow for one reject as another reject isn't rejected



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.

I would suggest it's not Starmer who needs to take notice, but more like the people controlling him. Not that they will, as their plan to destabilise this country seems to be coming along nicely.

She can always go out and clonk someone, so TTK can make an excuse and whine, 'Well, Lucy's Lucy'...

Woof woof...

DJ - yes, he's as deaf as a post when the criticism becomes personal, however obvious it is to others.

Penseivat - it seems to be a destroy then rebuild ideology without the rebuild bit. He behaves as if there is a blockhead socialist ideology controlling him plus some more sinister influences and racketeering.
