Phillipson and Powell set for Labour deputy showdown

Phillipson and Powell set for Labour deputy showdown

The Labour Party's deputy leadership race has narrowed down to two candidates: Bridget Phillipson and Angela Rayner. Phillipson, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, and Rayner, the current deputy leader, are set to face off in the final round of the contest. The other candidate, Bell Riberio-Addy, was unable to garner enough support to advance further in the race. This leaves Phillipson and Rayner as the two contenders vying for the deputy leadership position. The outcome of this showdown will have significant implications for the Labour Party's direction and its future under the leadership of Keir Starmer. Voters within the party will now have the opportunity to choose between the two remaining candidates and their respective visions for the party's future.
