🔮   Labour's soft-Left insurgency

Politics

A fervid summer lies ahead for Britain’s political parties. Freed from the dull procedures of Parliament by a long hazy recess, MPs and their staff can get down to the serious business of knifing factional enemies. For the past decade, the two main parties have endured summers of instability and speculation over leadership — part of the deeper destabilisation of a once unflappable political system. Even Reform is not immune, as demonstrated by Zia Yusuf’s antics last week. It is Labour’s internal disquiet, however, which spells the most trouble. All sides of the Party sense Keir Starmer’s weakness, but it is perhaps the soft-Left faction which has the best claim on Labour’s future.
