Keir Starmer would never have suspended the whip from Matthew Doyle unless he had needed a way to embarrass Anas Sarwar. Sarwar has just suspended the whip from Pam Duncan-Glancy, so job done.
Starmer expects us to sympathise with him because, while he was Prime Minister and despite his considerable family means, his disabled brother had died in poverty. That expectation would have been bad enough even if this Government had had a better record on such issues.
Nothing that may still hang over Angela Rayner can compare to the removal of a career diplomat from Britain's most important ambassadorial posting in order to replace her, knowingly, with the best friend of the world's most notorious paedophile. A Rayner Premiership would have much to criticise. But at least she is not as bad as that.
Nor would we ever be treated to messages that suggested a very close friendship indeed between Rayner and the same Peter Mandelson who had corruptly secured Palantir all manner of British government contracts, including with the National Health Service that had been entrusted to the same Wes Streeting whose partner had worked for Mandelson for three years, which was how they had met.
