The resignation of Rayner seems to have led to Starmer showing how few cards he actually has , he seems to be keeping his inner circle close and there don't seem to be many of them which would explain why the unelected Dame Angela Eagle who completely failed (by intention) in her job as "border security and asylum minister" has rather than being sacked has been moved to the environment department , not sue doing what but creating BS as a Biofuel is likely.
The rumblings of the reshuffle continue with sound of deckchairs being frantically moved on the sinking ship almost audible.
Lucy Connolly has spoken at the Reform Conference.
Seems like a perfect candidate for Reform's prisons advisor.
The rumblings of the reshuffle continue with sound of deckchairs being frantically moved on the sinking ship almost audible.
Lucy Connolly has spoken at the Reform Conference.
Quote:In what was quite a candid interview, she shared her experience with the justice system.
Connolly went on to say she wants to "work with Reform" in the future - to rapturous cheers and applause from the audience.
Her case was highlighted by the party as a free speech issue, with Reform saying that people should not be imprisoned for social media posts.
At one point, Connolly was asked about a Labour councillor who was cleared of hate speech, she said: "He was an idiot, I was an idiot," - and both were acting on "emotion".
When she was asked what she wanted to do in the future, Connolly said she wanted to use her time in prison to improve it.
She said, for example, that the way in which she was arrested and charged over a weekend made it harder for her to get good legal advice.
Connolly also said she didn't want to build more prisons, but make the current estate work better.
