Vidhya Alakeson and Jill Cuthbertson are Keir Starmer’s new Joint Chiefs of Staff. Morgan McSweeney’s Deputies, one of whom is married to Amber Rudd’s old Special Adviser, whom she met on the Remain campaign. It’s a big club, and we’re not in it.
The SpAds are, though, to the extent that when, as today, one of them resigns, then he asserts without correction that he has resigned “from the Government”. What is so Special about their Advice?
Or about those who enjoyed the benefit of it? 50 years ago, when Harold Wilson resigned, then not only were there six candidates to succeed him, but they were Tony Benn, Jim Callaghan, Anthony Crosland, Michael Foot, Denis Healey and Roy Jenkins. Think on.
