Is Harman deeply respected across the labour movement, on what evidence? It was her decision as interim Labour leader in 2015 to whip abstention on Tory benefit cuts that finally caused the “labour movement” to reject decades of leadership by Labour Right, a political earthquake
Brown and Harman (rightly) deeply respected across Labour movement. Strategy clear-use grandees to cement PM in place. But risks clear too. If this is extent of reset it hardly reeks of change/adverts to Starmer’s lack of authority. Can’t do full reshuffle so stuck with this.
