Labour body meet to plan race to replace Angela Rayner as deputy

Labour’s ruling organ will meet to prepare plans for leadership elections instead of Angela Rayner, who resigned after accepting the stamp tax that resigned last week.

The party’s ruling National Executive Committee (NEC) will hold talks on Monday to determine the timeline and rules for the competition, which is shaped by the Labor Party’s direction.

Since Sir Keir Starmer reshaped his best team, Rayner’s resignation led to the reorganization of a large government at the weekend.

In the previous elections, workers’ members, trade unions and deputies ultimately have a say, but the NEC can change the rules to accelerate the competition.

Labour’s Rule Book sets a high rod to enter the race, as it will need support for 80 Labor Party MPs – 20% of the Parliamentary Party to enter the ballot.

Candidates should also have at least three affiliated organizations or 5% of local parties, including two unions.

Those who clean the bar are facing votes with party membership.

The BBC realizes that NEC will be presented with proposed rules for MPs on Wednesday, including Hustings, and that candidates will close BST on Thursday, 17:00.

Candidates with support will seek candidacy from local parties and unions before the vote.

Dame Emily Thornberry, President of the Foreign Affairs Committee, was the first high -profile figure to explain that she was thinking about an offer on Sunday.

Dame Emily was a shock neglect of the government of Sir Keir, the International Trade Secretary of the Shadow in the opposition.

Speaking at the weekend, Labour’s great Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham said that the competition was the opportunity to “discuss about internal management”.

Burnham warned that the cabinet was not “balance” after Rayner’s exit, and called on another sound from the north of England.

He suggested that former transportation secretary Louise Haigh or former-commons leader Lucy Powell would help against what he calls “London-based” under the leadership of Sir Keir.

Competition Triggered by Rayner’s resignation After an investigation that found that it violated the Ministry Law after admitting that it received a low wage of £ 40,000 at a new house in a new house at the beginning of this year.

His resignation led to a major change in David Lammy as the Deputy Prime Minister of Rayner and Steve Reed in the housing department – Sir Keir tried to draw a line under the scandal.

Shake-up saw Yettete Cooper as an external secretary and changed Shabana Mahmood’s Minister of Interior.

Rachel Reeves remained as a chancellor, while Britain had three women in the highest -level cabinet roles with the Prime Minister for the first time.

Sir Keir faces the possibility of a party conference, maneuvering for the role of leadership assistant evacuated by the popular Rayner between the base.

Rayner, who was seen as a bridge between the Government and Backbenches, was both the deputy leader of the working leader and the Deputy Prime Minister.
