Governing is hard, and sometimes it is harder than others. This morning, Keir Starmer had to give a short speech welcoming the election of a deputy leader of his party seven weeks after he had sacked her from his government.
This seemed to be a fitting end to a week in which all candidates to lead the grooming gangs inquiry withdrew; a migrant deported to France came back again on a small boat; Labour was humiliated in a by-election where it had always won in Wales; and a migrant sex offender was set free by mistake.
