With an explosive attack on Sir Keir Starmer, a left-wing mayor quit Labour today. Following a bitter fight over his application for a larger devolved role, Jamie Driscoll, the mayor of North of Tyne, revealed that he would leave the party. Last month, the former engineer was refused to run for Labour in the election to become the North East mayor from next year. He was refused to run for Labour's candidate because of his appearance on a panel with filmmaker Ken Loach, who was barred from the party in 2021. Mr Driscoll, the British Prime Minister, resigned from Labour this afternoon and will continue to run as an outsider for the mayor of North East. In his resignation letter, Sir Keir rebuked the Labour leader for his "broken promises." The mayor wrote to Sir Keir, 'It is not grown up politics to say that Britain is broken and then go on say that the situation is so difficult that we should abandon any attempt to fix it.' 'That is mental gymnastics worthy of Olympic gold,' he said.

DEEDES OF HENRY: Lady Starmer was led on stage to deliver the customary congratulatory smooch as the music blared again. I've written it before, but she is heavily undervalued as an electoral resource. Certainly a much more able vote winner than anything we heard from her hubby.
