Agree with second paragraph. But at least those sisters have been in labour politics for over a decade. Longer then she has been an MP for sure.
McSweenys wife an MP getting a treasury role… the NEC members given safe seats. It does all look pretty grubby. But it’s also how it works in the UK. It’s a patronage network that recruits in the odd high performer. You get some working class at oxbridge. The odd peers who did great things.
