#Starmer’s golden girl shows her feet of clay: #YvetteCooper humbled by #CliveMyrie
Labour’s controversial shadow cabinet reshuffle brought one particular MP back to the frontline of politics after several years on the backbenches: Yvette Cooper.
Centrists have made a huge fuss about this, saying that Cooper’s appointment as shadow Home Secretary is hugely important in making Labour electable again…
… only to have all their work rubbished in a few seconds by BBC newscaster Clive Myrie, while presenting Have I Got News For You:

Ian Hislop says that Keir Starmer has finally brought ‘some sensible people’ into the Shadow Cabinet and Clive Myrie rightly points out that Yvette Cooper is an absolute proven failure. The look on Hislop’s face. #HIGNFY

The look on Hislop’s face can hardly be worse than the look on the faces of all those hard-right (Centrist! Ha!) goons when their golden girl proves she still has feet of clay.
Starmtrooper Cooper may have marched onto Labour’s front bench but she all she’ll do there is fail again.

Clive Myrie once presented a BBC Radio series about the assassination of Martin Luther King.
It claimed, without any evidence at all, that James Earl Ray was the assassin.
Strangely enough, there were no interviews with members of Martin Luther King’s family.
They seem to be unanimous in their belief that Ray was innocent.
Dexter King, Martin’s son stated in 2012:
“I believe, and my family believes, that this man (James Earl Ray) is innocent.”
