Labour's Last Chance
So it’s over. The expected has happened and Labour has the new leader we have known was coming since early polling showed it was a slam dunk. Sir Keir Starmer has taken decisive control of the party with a number of symbolic sackings. Out go Ian Lavery, Jon Trickett and Barry Gardiner. In come Annalise Dodds — the first woman to ever hold the role of Shadow Chancellor and Rachel Reeves, who (despite being bizarrely labelled as soft left in the Times) comes from Labour’s centrist wing and is a trusted pair of hands.
