also Mandelson has dismissed abolition and no doubt all the right-wing Labour grandees/scumbags/arseholes would agree and they are going to be still there, whereas Kieth will be lucky to be still leading the party in 18 months

Labour peer and former cabinet minister Lord Mandelson has warned that, without agreement from other parties, Labour's plans risk dragging the party into a "quagmire", soaking up "acres of time and energy" that would be better spent on other priorities.
yeah, like sanctioning disabled people because they are not work capable and using MI5 agents as border force, starting a "investment vehicle" PFI energy carbuncle that will only benefit private sector behemoths. So many priorities.

None of the Durham clp were allowed to ask him any questions, some of his gang of goons verbally abused ppl at a children's party that had been booked at the same venue months before.

A Labour candidate for a seat in east London is being investigated over an allegation of sexual harassment.Cllr Darren Rodwell, the leader of Barking and Dagenham Council and Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Barking, has been accused of “inappropriate touching” of the hands and legs of an attendee at an event last month.

The investigation emerged at the same time as a BBC report claiming Mr Rodwell asked police not to respond if they were contacted by a resident he was planning to confront at their home.Mr Rodwell claimed he used official systems to find the address of the person who had threatened him online.

The council leader also made headlines after threatening to evict housing tenants who did not report knife crime. He later said his comments had been “sensationalised to make me sound like I was some sort of Mussolini”.In the past five and a half years, Mr Rodwell has received more than £20,000 in gifts and hospitality.This includes £12,448 in West Ham tickets and hospitality from a single construction firm after they secured permission to build film studios in the area.

The Guardian-reading liberal vote will be split between Lab, Lib Dem and Green, with the latter two parties taking slightly more than their 2019 totals.
