Sue Gray (Labour's female version of Dominic Cummings, and every bit as popular and well liked) announced in the Times yesterday that Labour would introduce Soviets (aka Citizen Assemblies).
Unsurprisingly the plan has received a drubbing across the political spectrum. A member of Labour's NEC described it as a "stupid idea". Therefore it should come as no surprise to learn that Labour has backtracked on the plan less than 24 hours later.
One other issue that has also caused disquiet in Labour, is why Gray (a political advisor) was the one making the announcement.
As with Cummings, when the messenger overshadows the message it is time to get rid of the messenger!
