No chance of that

It's going from bad to worse. Labour's rapidly declining fortunes need something. Speed? Acid? Anti depressants? According to the ever reliable Daily Express click bait, Rachel Reeves is now suffering from depression over the state of the economy. Perhaps her recent underwhelming trip to China hasn't cheered her up - honestly, a claimed £600 million of extra trade over five years? With a steady determination to piss pensioners off, Labour has now scored a new own goal by kicking the reform of social care into the long grass with a three year 'review' announced by Wes Bleating. This is obviously tied to coincide with the next general election, but Bleating says the delay is to allow time to build a cross party consensus. This is nonsense and he knows it. Tory leader Badenoch has already said it'll take the Tories two years to develop new policies to rebuild her party. With the power of government behind it, Labour doesn't need half baked ideas from the opposition. Anyway, on top of the cancellation of the Winter Fuel Allowance and the abandonment of the WASPI women, Labour has now scored a hat trick of bad news for oldies with their awful predilection for voting. Labour needs more than a drug to fend off the likely Reform nightmare.
 
Labour MPs are muttering about the political lifespan of the current chancellor. One way they could get rid of her is to have some local party member make a complaint about her behaviour. The details needn’t be specified. She could then be suspended from the whip ‘pending an investigation.’ The investigation would of course drag on for eternity, preferably beyond the selection contest for the next general election. This modus operandii has been used so many times against lefty MPs it barely raises an eye brow.
