So, that's both Hartlepool and Durham County Council lost by Labour to the Tories; in other words, a disastrous outcome of last week's Elections.
But no wonder. The country had to endure the dreadful spectacle of the Labour Party's Deputy Leader, Angela Rayner, appearing both on television and in Hartlepool wearing a leotard and bovver boots and those appearances alone were worth lorry loads of votes for the Tories. With Ms Rayner about, the Tories can sit back, relax and just weigh the votes coming in.
Labour must get rid of this woman fast. She's an unreconstructed class-warrior with a very loud mouth and a brain the size of a pea - exactly the sort of politician that has bedevilled Labour these past few years. Labour must learn that however bad the other side, they are never going to get back in power with politicians like Ms Rayner about.
The cold reality of political life is that Labour needs articulate, professional, middle-class individuals to win a General Election. Until such time as she is removed, Angela Rayner will remain a frightful albatross around Keir Starmer's neck.
