Does not feel like a coincidence that the cabinet minister who has just had some very old information dredged up about her is also the cabinet minister who came to blows with the leadership a few weeks ago. The same leadership who have been aware of said information for years 🤷‍♂️ - ThreadSky

Thats exactly what I said!

This... after stoking far-right conspiracy theories yesterday.

And they were meant to be better than the Tories.... ?

Such a shame. She had the potential of being a transformational transport secretary which would have helped labour win a second term.

This though was fine.

liamthorp.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yup

paulhebden.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yep. That this resulted in a sacking and not some of the stuff around gift gate is illustrative.

One by one the soft left Cabinet ministers will be picked off.

Labour are fuckin ruthless

When Rayner was getting a bit too powerful they took her fella Sam Terry out be deselecting him as mp

That P+OTEST too...

Or could it be that we take her at her word that she didn’t want to distract from the important work of gov’t. Just look at the RW rags this morning - I’d do the same in her position.

liamthorp.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yeah I don’t doubt her decision but I’m asking where the leak came from in the first place…

kahuzi.bsky.social•100 days ago

Only have her version at the moment. Further digging "may" reveal other, more embarrassing, details.

li33ie.bsky.social•100 days ago

Exactly this. Honest to god

juicyjohn.bsky.social•100 days ago

It’s Morgan McSweeney

thomaswenn.bsky.social•100 days ago

Ofc it is.

I think most of us think this was an internal Labour stitch up pointing the hacks in the right direction. A decent competent minster doing a good job coordinating well with Northern Mayors & Unions what is not to like.Downing street/National Executive is a nest of vipers.

Starmer did not sack her and he’s reported as having responded to her letter of resignation by saying she has ‘a huge contribution to make in the future.’

liamthorp.bsky.social•100 days ago

I’m not saying he did. I’m questioning where the story may have come from.

judybeds.bsky.social•100 days ago

Is that journalism or gossip?

liamthorp.bsky.social•100 days ago

You know this website is a place to post thoughts and musings right?

judybeds.bsky.social•100 days ago

Yes, but thank you for explaining it to me 😉

patrichens.bsky.social•100 days ago

…and on probably the best day for burying news since that time.
