I hate getting involved in political threads on a football forum and won't be drawn into a long debate but Labour needs root and branch change.

For the sake of politics on the home front I genuinely hope this is just the start. Starmer might not survive the changes ahead but if they're for the future betterment then fairplay.

I've not read the news tonight but to my mind Rayner should never have been in a position of influence anyway.
She was the price Len McCluskey the union leader and Momentum exacted for not blocking Starmer becoming leader 68.

She’s f u c k I n g useless but the point is that Starmer said he’d take the flack and he’s immediately thrown Rayner under the bus.

Andy Burnham is Labour’s best potential leader but he won’t get the gig because the Momentum lot and Big Len will ensure it’s a Corbynista that gets it next time around.

The Tories are safe for another 15-20 years if Labour carry on like this.
