You know, as much as yesterday was a debacle for Labour, as a close watcher of politics here and in the US I feel oddly reassured. Our system still works, even if imperfect. Scandals still matter, accountability still exists. Compared with the bin fire in the US, that gives me some hope.

Had Starmer not let Sue Grey go, then we’d probably be in a totally different place now, Mandelson wouldn’t have got to be US Ambassador & Morgan Mcsweeny probably wouldn’t be screwing Labour over now.
