There was a Rebecca Long Bailey event in Newcastle Under Lyme today. I wasn’t there because Keir Starmer was here and...it was nearer and I was informed sooner. But from what I can understand, things haven’t been super happy in the RLB campaign over the last 24 hours
Broadly speaking it might have been a listening event and might have been a launch, nobody seems clear. If it WAS a launch, it failed to make an impact. Regardless, there’s been a power struggle between the Lansmann side and the McDonnell side.
...depending on who you speak to. Although I find the idea - generally a given among many Labour people I speak to - that she can’t make her own bloody mind up and is somehow waiting for a man’s decision irritating and unlikely. Yet that’s what’s being generally chatted.
