Not good days for the Labour Party in England. A year ago many people hoped for a different UK. Yes, there have been some developments but with the resignation of the deputy PM Angela Rayner, the star of the north, Keir Starmer is not in a good place.
Baroness Harman told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: "I think that, in terms of extending the breadth of the leadership, it probably needs to be somebody from outside London and it definitely needs to be a woman.
"We need somebody who is not a counterpoint to the leader, but is complementary to the leader, will broaden the reach of the leader and galvanise the party.”
Another member of the party said it is important that the new deputy leader if not a chum of the prime minister but a champion of the party.
Wise words indeed.
