Just had a rueful only-half-in-jest comment from someone in Labour that Reform MPs have more influence over Number 10 (and are taken more seriously) than Labour backbenchers. Definitely a nasty mood out there (and Morgan McSweeney is the lightning rod for it). - ThreadSky

He’s does seem to be the driver behind the try being more racist approach.

Seems a bit unfair given he’s only there so long as Keir Starmer wants him

Blame the tsar, not the bad advisor

McSweeney and blue labour are toxic. Their brand of politics is toxic. There needs to be an antidote: sacking the lot of them.

Hopefully there's a ceremonious yeeting of McSweeney

Farage will soon be able to join Thatcher in saying that they reformed the Labour Party.

McSweeney needs throwing out on his arse. The poison that is driving Labour into the ground with this obsession with the fkin awful Blue Labour bollocks.

Although some backbenchers are indistinguishable from Reform MPs. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple make the jump before the end of this Parliament.

He needs a vote of confidence from the board

That's because Reform MPs have opinions, whereas most Labour backbenchers don't

Were these results bad enough to justify giving him the boot? My feeling is that the boot is currently moot.

But if Labour MPs are sufficiently annoyed and mutinous...

Given that the house of common doesn't really reflect public given FPTP and increasing gerrymandering of inner cities that's to be expected.
But Labour chose to keep this system at every stage in its history out of greed. To do so now would be to admit the project was wrong.

Look at the bright side. Labour is no longer responsive to working people’s material needs, college is out of reach, and you’re nearly into another war. Got rid of the left!
Privatize NHS and the project will be complete.
