The U.K.’s opposition Labour party was plunged into civil war after leader Keir Starmer sacked his deputy Angela Rayner from her frontbench role as chair following dismal local election results, Politico reports.
The Guardian: “She was blamed for her role in running the council and mayoral polls and the byelection in Hartlepool, but her allies said she was never given control over campaigns that were ‘run out of Starmer’s office.’ As the chair of the campaign, her supporters said she was being set up for the blame.”
