Labour’s Identity Crisis

The new Private Eye is out now.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1659 of Private Eye magazine with the caption “on shelves now.” The front cover headline reads “Labour’s Identity Crisis” and shows Keir Starmer and Andy Burnham talking. Burnham says, “I would like to lead the Labour Party,” to which Starmer replies, “So would I.”

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference.

“One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception.

“The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

Farrige gives the impression he doesn’t trust scientists, but was willing to believe a taxi driver in Buckinghamshire, that Sharia Law is coming to Britain.

This guy wants to be PM?! You must be joking!

Nice one @billybragg.bsky.social 👏 #bbcqt
