Keir Starmer launched a desperate bid to 'reset' his team today amid fears he is bracing to mount another huge tax raid.
The PM has moved to bolster his influence over economic policy as a critical Budget looms.
No10 strategic communications director James Lyons announced he is leaving the role after less than a year.
Meanwhile, Treasury minister Darren Jones has been appointed to the new post of 'secretary to the PM', tasked with enforcing Sir Keir's will.
Former Bank of England deputy governor Minouche Shafik - said by critics to be keen on wealth taxes - has been made Sir Keir's chief economic adviser.
The overhaul looks designed to give Sir Keir more grip of financial policy, after the disastrous Treasury missteps over winter fuel allowance and benefits reforms.
It follows a torrid summer for the premier, dominated by protests about Channel boats and asylum hotels.
Labour is trailing far behind Nigel Farage's Reform in the polls, with predictions Rachel Reeves will have to impose more eye-watering tax hikes at the Budget to fill a huge black hole in the public finances.
The departure of Mr Lyons raises fresh questions about Sir Keir's judgment, after the exits of his previous comms director Matthew Doyle and chief of staff Sue Gray.
As Sir Keir battles to revive his floundering premiership:

Time to reshuffle the Labor clown car. Angela Raynor is a super nuts commie, she is gunning to depose Starmer to take over Labor.
George Harrison wrote a song as the first track on the album “Revolver” as the Beatles were beginning to want George to exploit his skills in song writing. His song, “Taxman” was a criticism of the super tax if 93%. I would not be surprised if Starmer faces this song in opposition appearances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2_ZTtvA07w

The UK’s Deep State is fixing to find out the hard way that the Laffer Curve applied there, too.
I wonder how much US taxpayer money was being laundered to the UK to keep its floundering ship of state afloat...
Starmer said when he was election that he sat back for years and watched all the former PMs make tons of mistakes but not he’s making the same mistakes times 100 ,LOL

Governments in the UK and France support recognizing a Palestinian state at the UN later this month. The consequences are playing out.
_____Labour MP calls people hanging St George’s flags ‘extremists’ Clive Lewis accuses far-Right activists of trying to ‘mark territory’_____
European Muslims mark their territory all the time with Palestinian flags and mass prayer to their pagan gawd out in the streets. They love to piss on all non-Muslims. To invade secular spaces.
Well, after the Muslim imports have served their purpose they will end up under the same thumb.
Though Deep States, plural, may be too desperate at the moment to be concerned that their rent-a-mobs will not take that well...
European plan to deploy troops to Ukraine is revealed
Before anyone goes off half-cocked...
Consider the sources for this.
The weasel wordage used throughout the article.
That Europe is broke and talk is cheap.
And that Deep States, plural, venefit when they succeed in ginning up games of lets-you-and-him-fight.
I can't wait for Pres. Trump's state visit to the UK in less than three weeks.
That will be EPIC.
in deep state v muslims
you think deep state will win?
there are 59 muslim states
we have seen this game before
Starmer will be the last in a line of post-modern socialists and, in his case, outright Marxists, who have run the UK for the last 60 years, save Margaret Thatcher.
BTTT
Don’t believe anything said by Farage about illegals. He has already surrendered. He has stated that deportation is impossible and has appointed numerous Muslim’s to assume power if he is elected.
Manchurian.
I’ll grant you that Deep States may not have thought this through.
They wouldn’t be the first despots hung with their own rope.
The UK is dead.
