Administrative Error?

Keir Starmer had a Head of Communications? How will Steph Driver make a living now, with that on her CV? And Dave Pares is off to be Director of Communications at the Treasury, to try to spin the Budget, the worst job since the death of Margaret Thatcher deprived someone of the role of injecting Vitamin B12 into her buttocks.

Starmer's Leadership is being openly challenged by someone who has not been an MP for the last eight of Starmer's 10 years in Parliament, while Kemi Badenoch's Leadership is being openly challenged by someone whom she is too weak to sack from her Shadow Cabinet.

And Morgan McSweeney expects us to believe that he merely forgot to declare £739,492 in donations that propelled Starmer to the Labour Leadership. The amnesia among high level political figures is a public health emergency that has concerned me for 30 years.

Or, since it really is self-diagnosed unlike anything that qualified for rather more meagre payments, is it all a benefit fraud? Forgetfulness would be no excuse if you failed to declare an awful lot less than 700 grand while claiming Universal Credit. These are the people who would afflict us all with digital ID, and that when hackers had stolen the names, addresses and pictures of eight thousand children.

McSweeney's vehicle was Labour Together, the slate on which internal Labour Party elections were contested by Mason Humberstone, the Stevenage Councillor who last week defected with great fanfare to Reform UK. Reform is highly likely to take the parliamentary seat of Stevenage from Labour. Think on.
