Sir Keir Starmer might limp on but today is the day the Labour Government died.

Today is the day the reputation of all the Labour Cabinet died.

Keir Starmer was on the brink today – Why was he in this mess?

It’s because HE appointed the friend of the world’s most notorious paedophile to the position of US Ambassador. And he’s confirmed, on record, that he knew Mandelson was still friends with Epstein when he appointed him

It comes down to whether or not Labour Cabinet Ministers and MPs think giving a job to the friend of a sadistic, depraved paedophile is a bad thing and whether or not they’re willing to keep supporting the bloke who did that.

And today, every single Labour Cabinet Minister decided they’d support him.

Every single one of them. Even Angela Rayner backed him. New Deputy Leader Lucy Powell did an interview praising Starmer, boasting about how great he is under pressure.

He’s under pressure, Lucy, because he appointed the friend of the world’s worst paedophile to the role of US Ambassador.

No Labour Cabinet minister can ever claim to care about the safety of women and girls again. They can’t claim to care about child abuse ever again.

But we know how they feel about it, don’t we. Lucy Powell was eventually forced to apologise for her “dog whistle” comment.

And here’s Keir Starmer on the rape gangs: “And when politicians and I mean politicians who sat in Government for many years are casual about honesty, decency, truth and the rule of law, calling for inquiries because they want to jump on a bandwagon of the far right.”

Rape gang survivors have accused Jess Phillips of calling them liars, and the Labour Party has been accused of covering it up for years.

Many of the 55 towns and cities with rape gangs were Labour areas!

So it’s no surprise that not a single Labour Cabinet Minister thinks appointing a paedophile’s mate to the role of US Ambassador is a resigning issue.

They’re happy to let Starmer limp on and they’re doing it, in my view, just to keep their jobs. To keep their Ministerial salaries. Probably to keep their MPs’ salaries and expenses because they know they’d possibly lose their seats if there was a snap General Election.

That certainly doesn’t seem more important to me than the safety of women and girls.
