A big conference week for Sir Keith ahead. Looks like he is going to test his authority over the party with his attempt to change how the leader is chosen, he’s apparently trying to revert back to the system which gives the parliamentary party a very big say into who gets the top job. There will be a large part of the rank and file who will fight this change rigorously.Kier has just released a document on his "Vision for Labour".
John McDonnell was quick off the mark to rubbish it calling it a long essay unlikely to inspire voters and likening it to "the Sermon on the Mount written by a focus group".
You go girl! Handbags at dawn.
It won’t have helped that Rayner gave a rumbustious performance in PMQ’s yesterday, she was a bit ‘class war’ for my taste, but it would’ve gone down well with the hard left of the party, especially a large part of the membership who view Starmer as ineffective, wishy washy and bordering on a Blairite. He obviously needs a good conference leader’s speech as well.
