Dunno, she’s one of the MPs suspended for voting against the 2-child benefit cap years ago. That’s the only thing I know about her

2 Senior MPs have suggested Starmer may be ousted within months if Labour continue to perform poorly.

This seems to be becoming the norm, and not just for Tory PMs!
Sir Keir Starmer could be ousted as PM within months, two senior Labour MPs tell Sky News
A member of the government and a prominent MP said Sir Keir Starmer could be ousted unless Labour has a strong showing in May's elections.
We need him replaced with a proper remainer, not someone like him with his pathetic "make brexit work" slogan.
I saw a clip of him from 2017 in a YT video about brexit, saying how we mustn't return to the EU since it's the "will of the people" to be out. What a load of bullshit, this is no remainer.
As I said previously, I like him less and less as time goes on and his general popularity has nosedived. I'd say good, but the problem is that this makes it much more likely that the tories, or nowadays, Reform, get into power, so we really need a Labour leader who is popular, hence I'm up for getting rid of him for a good, centre left leader who wants to rejoin the EU. I don't know of anyone who meets that criteria though, unfortunately.

Another important thing that Labour are getting right. Those NDAs are clearly there to cover up wrongdoing by the employer and should never have been legal in the first place. In my opinion, they also breached human rights.

Long time coming, at least we trust Labour when it comes to worker rights, where it’s like screw the Tories!Another important thing that Labour are getting right.

Well, pressure is mounting on Rachel Reeves to resign, with the high tax, high spending policies.

Well, the government are considering a wealth tax. Anyone with > £6 should be taxed 2% of their wealth every year.

Watcha think?
Why am I not surprised that these red tories are putting the workers' rights bill under threat? This was one of the few things to come from them that would have directly benefited me.
