The Labour leadership is reintroducing the electoral college to elect the next leader, meaning MPs' votes will be worth hundreds of times more than Labour members.

Here's what it means.

It means - conclusively - that Keir Starmer and his team lied their way to the Labour leadership, when they promised party unity, not to "trash" the 4 years preceding his victory, and to end internal navel gazing.

They wouldn't have won if they'd be honest about their intentions

It means many will ask that if Labour leadership are willing to lie their way into power in the party, they will do so again and again.

British democracy has been corrupted by liars and charlatans like Boris Johnson. How is the Labour leadership able to argue it is different?

It means that the Labour leadership have only a strategy to crush the left: they have, as they have shown, no strategy to defeat the Tories.

But millions of voters under the age of 40 are attracted to ideas of the left. Labour is now telling them to go and take a jump.

It means Keir Starmer's leadership is dead.

You'd only rig the leadership rules in a hurry if you were scared a leadership election soon would allow a candidate you don't like to win.

The Labour right privately say Starmer is a loser and will now feel safe in replacing him.

The Tories have presided over tens of thousands of needless deaths, multiple scandals and a war against working class people, e.g. by cutting Universal Credit.

Labour let them get away with it all, and are only interested in waging war on their own party.

Here's what the Labour leadership are achieving: simultaneously completely failing to win over older Tory-leaning voters while repelling younger voters.

They may win this particular battle.

But Keir Starmer is set to be king of the ashes, and nothing more.
