Divisive NUS president Malia Bouattia defeated in election
Shakira Martin takes 56% of vote to unseat Bouattia, whose one-year term was dogged by allegations of antisemitism
I've just been talking to my two local Labour councillors. They've been going round reminding Labour supporters about the Metro Mayor vote next week. I don't know if there have been people leaving locally, but they seemed ever so pleased I was still a member. Which I am. I gave myself until the end of March to decide and here I still am. And I can't leave now cos I said I'd put a poster up Brexit has been a bitch but Jeremy Hunt's gormless mug this morning had the instant and totally overwhelming effect of making me want to go out and vote Labour. On multiple occasions.

I think saying he won't attend debates if she won't is a terrible, terrible idea. With her not there, empty chair or not, then if the others turn on him he can make it clear that he's the one actually fighting the government. If not they can all tear into the absent tories. If he doesn't turn up the rest of them will and that's when they will all be claiming to be the only opposition in their part of the world, with nobody to reply for Labour.
Trump tax plan to cut income tax of wealthiest Americans by five per cent
