Labour Deputy Leader hopeful Lucy Powell has come out swinging against Starmer, saying that “unforced errors” have meant Labour has given “sense that we’re not on the side of ordinary people.” Still bitter about being sacked…
Powell said on BBC’s Political Thinking podcast:
“Some of the mistakes that we’ve made, or some of the unforced errors, have given a sense that we’re not on the side of ordinary people. I think part of what’s gone wrong is that people have lost sense of what those values are and whose side we are governing.”

Powell leads among Labour members on 47%, compared to Number 10’s favourite Bridget Phillipson on 30%, according to a Survation poll.
