...because just like Blair, Starmer is a crypto conservative?

Crypto is the only word in your analysis I take issue with.

You made the question I wanted to ask. No brown faces there, so zero multicultural participation. Lord Finkelstein, good grief! 😡

Because Starmer is a Tory. George Osborne is the chair, so they'll fit right in. Also, some of those people were very active in the anti-Corbyn pile-on, and this is doubtless part of their reward.

It's a bad thing when Claudia Winkleman is the least objectional new trustee

Tory’s have really big trust issues and labour (Starmers) main job is to win Tory trust.

The author of ‘Keeping Their Marbles: How the Treasures of the Past Ended up in Museums and Why They Should Keep Them’ is now a trustee at the BM?

Well, that is...interesting.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social moving towards no return? Odd line up for multivocal stakeholders or decolonisation...
