The biggest void, and headache for Prime Minister Starmer, left by Angela Rayner’s triple resignation was the job of Labour’s Deputy Leader.

Not because of the position itself but because filling it could become a bonfire of grievances. Over a hundred thousand Labour members and the unions will vote.

A debate about everything from Gaza to wealth taxes to benefits is inevitable. The party’s executive wants a swift vote.

Workers rights, once championed by Angela Rayner, but criticised by business for stunting growth are bound to fuel the debate. Will the vote become a battle over the tortured soul of the Labour party?
