The new junior minister in the Cabinet Office was considerably more junior when she made her debut on the Eye's cover 37 years ago!
The baby is Georgia Gould, newly-elected MP for Queen's Park and Maida Vale.
If anyone deserves to lose. It's this one, the destroyer of Mortgage payers and rent payers banks, the economy crasher, the interest rate riser and the debt runner.
If you support causes that George Galloway claims to champion, that’s even more of a reason to reject him.
He’s a toxic egomaniac who exploits societal divisions & sucks up to bloodthirsty dictators for personal promotion.
You don’t want him anywhere near causes you care about.
Galloway will be a disaster for Rochdale and for British democracy. Only Labour can stop this happening elsewhere - but this was a self-inflicted defeat the party has to learn from.

How much danger is Speaker in? Will he have to go?
1/ V senior Lab source tells me they don’t think he will, on basis govt (and payroll) won’t go for Speaker nor will Lab - so in end won’t lose support of majority of House
2/ Former Tory cabinet minister says they “doubt he’ll go at the moment” But adds “anger on the Conservative benches is intense”
Tells me: “Tory MPs backed him to be different from Bercow. And he’s done a Bercow. I hope it blows over. Maybe after the weekend will be better.”
3/ SNP obviously doubling down this morning.
Speaker has his work cut out in coming days not to lose the House. But sympathy too from some MPs who genuinely believe he was trying to do the right thing and not stoke more tensions for MPs over this difficult and divisive matter
The Kemi Badenoch stories seem very similar to the mid-late 1990s dismissal case of a prison governor by Michael Howard. In 1997 he was considered a front runner for the tory leadership. He came last after the case blew up post election.
