EXCLUSIVE Angela Rayner sleaze crisis is being fuelled by Labour 'civil war' over who should succeed Keir Starmer, Tories claim

Angela Rayner sleaze crisis is being fuelled by Labour 'civil war' over who should succeed

Shadow Cabinet minister Alex Burghart (inset) said senior Labour figures were more interested in jockeying for position to take over from the Prime Minister than in dealing with the problems facing the country. Mr Burghart said it was 'very likely' that damaging information about Ms Rayner's (left) personal life and tax affairs is being leaked by Labour rivals who believe Sir Keir (top right) will be forced out over his dire poll ratings. 'This is the sort of infighting we are going to see a lot more of in public as Labour politicians fear the collapse of Keir Starmer's regime and start briefing against each other,' he told the Daily Mail. The Conservatives have lodged a formal demand for an investigation into whether the Deputy Prime Minister broke the ministerial code during the purchase of an £800,000 second home (bottom right, file photo).

For decades Switzerland has been the quiet neighbour of Europe. But the police chase

For decades Switzerland has been perceived as Europe's most stable country, with its picture-perfect Alpine vistas, private banking vaults and neutral status during conflict.

But that perception was shattered this week - after the death of 17-year-old Marvin 'Shalom' Manzila in Lausanne sparked rioting that exposed bitter social divisions that have been quietly festering there without coming to the attention of the wider world.
