Burgon calls time on Blairite reshuffle gripes
Public not concerned by ‘Westminster bubble theatrics,’ says shadow minister

“BACKSTABBING” Blairites were told yesterday to stop squabbling over Jeremy Corbyn’s reshuffle and start taking the fight to the Tories.

Straight-talking shadow Treasury minister Richard Burgon said a minority of troublemaking Labour MPs were addicted to “Westminster bubble theatrics.”

But he told them that the public was not interested in the party’s “soap opera” and wanted to see Labour hold the government to account on housing, flooding and cuts.
