So. It was a premotion demotion. Or was it a demotion premotion?

Angela Rayner, who was sacked on Saturday as party chair and campaign co-ordinator in a move that went down badly in Labour ranks, was appointed shadow first secretary of state and shadow secretary of state for the future of work.

"She was also given the title of shadow chancellor to the Duchy of Lancaster, the equivalent of deputy prime minister in Sir Keir's new team, and will shadow Michael Gove, as well as retain control over party matters, ahead of Ms Dodds."

errrrr? Wasn't she already the Deputy Prime Minister?

I think I get it. It's called confusion politics.

Is Kier Starmer totally in charge here?

Seems Ms Rayner might have more influence than first thought.

I think she stomped her feet until she got what she wanted whilst screaming, "You're not the Boss of Me"!

Not making himself look very clever atm. Better to have come out and said, we are going to take a long hard look at who we are and want we need to do to make ourselves relevant to voters. Sometimes honesty is the best policy. Every country needs a strong opposition.

It's obviously exactly the sort of thing that the voters of Hartlepool were demanding.

Clear headed progressive thinking by Sir Keir there

It looked a bit rushed which in many areas of political decisions, be that legislation etc it came unstuck..

It's only served to strengthen Rayner's position and Starmer looks weaker which will embolden the left which will keep the Tories happy..

She wouldn't be unattractive if she just cheered up a bit. All this woe is me is such a turn off to the electorate.

Even Jess Phillips knows you can't present a miseryfest visage 24/7.

I think it was a good move getting rid of Analisa dodds as shadow chancellor she didn't seem to have a clue and will wait to see what the new one has to say.

You definitely need a sense of humour to be a gooner mate you can get treatment though.

Arsenal are the only club that dont want the fans back as there is more atmosphere with the fake crowd support.

Heard a labour chap on the radio Friday say part of the problem was that voters saw labour being negative all the time and seeming to enjoy being pessimistic and miserable whereas boris in particular has a positive happy persona.

Bit like living with a miserable bugger they get you down in the end and you just want out, a lesson labour need to learn

That's what I've been saying, and I think tbf Angela Raynor was one of the grumpiest of the lot. From that point of view, Starmer is right to try and get rid of her.

Back in the day, there were labour shadow cabinet members you'd have a drink with whatever your beliefs.

Kinnock, Smith, Frank Dobson, even Prezza, Tony Banks, all had a happy side.

Haven't seen Starmer laughing about anything. Professional miserabilists the lot of them.

Regardless of whether that's true, do you accept that appearing to be miserable all the time turns voters off?

So someone actually found that Starmer did something once in the House!! as the Opposition leader !!!

No wonder that you are so excited.

"So. It was a premotion demotion. Or was it a demotion premotion?

Angela Rayner, who was sacked on Saturday as party chair and campaign co-ordinator in a move that went down badly in Labour ranks, was appointed shadow first secretary of state and shadow secretary of state for the future of work.

"She was also given the title of shadow chancellor to the Duchy of Lancaster, the equivalent of deputy prime minister in Sir Keir's new team, and will shadow Michael Gove, as well as retain control over party matters, ahead of Ms Dodds."

errrrr? Wasn't she already the Deputy Prime Minister?

I think I get it. It's called confusion politics."

It's backtracking.

Instead of taking the "full responsibility" that he claimed for the poor election performance, he lashed out. In doing so, he created more rifts in the party. Now it's a scramble to get everyone back onboard.

He should just be humble and accept he messed up and try and build on the few positives he's had.

"Not making himself look very clever atm. Better to have come out and said, we are going to take a long hard look at who we are and want we need to do to make ourselves relevant to voters. Sometimes honesty is the best policy. Every country needs a strong opposition. "

Agree to this. I thought he would have been on camera but was avoiding reports.

Not in actual control of party either as noted on the news

Is this what he means by taking responsibility for the results
