The morning after the election results, Starmer promised he’d take personal responsibility for the results. Seems that wasn’t completely accurate as he’s now sacked Angela Rayner, I charge of the local election campaign, from her party chair role. She’ll remain deputy leader. That won’t make shadow cabinet meetings awkward…
