    Britain has politicians resigning due to minor infractions from over a decade ago, whilst the US is actively seeking this people, if not worse.

        Is there anything particularly right wing about her views?

          Honestly, I don’t know enough to comment on that. I remember that during her brief stint as shadow health secretary she was known as one of the blairites given a job by Corbyn in a failed attempt to unite the party, but that’s all.

          (Also, “labour right” doesn’t mean right wing in a wider context, it usually refers to Progress (Blairites), Labour First, and sometimes blue labour (although they’re kind of the opposite of progress).)

    Shocker. When you give Wes Streeting a job, you know the direction of travel.

    Oversteer Keir at it again.

    Most likely Starmer was told to get rid of her by his big business puppeteers. Took the opportunity of the Assisted Dying bill to limit the impact.

    Let’s see how long it is before Starmer embraces Farage as some sort of foreign envoy or ambassador to US.
