I think if you want to mark the moment for Labour’s series of problems in Government, it stems from the moment when Sue Gray was sacked in preference for Morgan McSweeney. Winning an internal or general vote is not the same as governing.

1,173 people were shot dead by "law enforcement" in the USA last year.
In the UK, it was 2.
The US population is 6x that of the UK, so go ahead and multiply the second figure by 6.
Then explain to me why this massively disproportionate rate of killing is so.
