How long before she strides confidently into a well paid role with a private firm (possibly one with close Government links)


. . . hey, do you think Reform will be interested? :rofl:

Glad she resigned, but once again you are making stuff up - she called a Tory MP, Chris Clarkson*, ‘****’ - you have exaggerated this to include all Tories…

*which she shouldn’t have

Rayner was apparently one of the government's most relatable and popular figures.

Will be interesting, in a macabre way, to see the effect on the government's ratings.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

I don't think they can go much lower.

I am beginning to think the country is fundamentally ungovernable. We have talentless politicians with no talent, backbone or even a coherent sense of what they believe. We have a population that doesn't want to make up trade-offs or compromises; they want Scandinavian services with American taxes, and they've been encouraged that this is possible by simply stopping migration, making 'efficiency' savings or having wealth taxes. We can't build anything because politicians won't commit to projects that will outlast their governance, because NIMBYs will move heaven and earth to exploit every mechanism at their disposal to stop any progress on anything and a legal system that enables them.

Dont worry, if certain people on this forum are an indication, they could do much worse things and still be defended to death, while blaming the tories. ;)

In the spirit of Hugh, Rayner can now be where she is needed: looking after her disabled child in Ashton-under-Lyne.

Conversely, she could live in her newly purchased Hove home, but again, in the spirit of Hugh, she now meet her obligations to her constituents.

Question: Is she damaged goods in terms of landing a lucrative job? POoor thing - as sit creek as it gets.

Lammy is the new deputy PM.

I'm not a shadow independent adviser on ministerial standards and nor am I defending her. But if they think she was, they've done their homework sufficiently to reach such a conclusion so I would concur. As always, I look at such things through apolitical items.

But as I posted yesterday, it was only a matter of time as to when she left.
