After this reshuffle the party’s leadership must make a pact with its MPs to focus their fire on the government,rather than each otherWe shouldn’t be opening the year debating Labour’s internal structures, its personalities, and its machinations.

How the government’s tax and benefit policies are projected to lop the incomes of the poorest by up to 8% over this parliament,as well as hitting middle-income families? How so many of the nation’s youth are being robbed of a comfortable present and future? How Britain’s burgeoning self-employed lack security, or how our older citizens are not getting the quality care services they deserve? How the government’s slavish devotion to Saudi Arabia’s ruling fanatics is a threat to the national security of this country? We could depart on. Anything but this, or basically.
