AN astonishing "new aristocracy" of couples, relatives and nepo-babies runs the Government. More than two dozen ministers including Rachel Reeves, Pat McFadden and Wes Streeting all have spouses

The article from The Sun discusses allegations of nepotism within the Labour Party, focusing on several key figures. Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves has appointed her sister, Ellie Reeves, as a Parliamentary Private Secretary, raising concerns about favoritism. Similarly, Wes Streeting, the Shadow Health Secretary, has employed his partner, Joe Dancey, as a Senior Parliamentary Assistant. Additionally, Pat McFadden, Labour's national campaign coordinator, has his wife, Marianna McFadden, working as a Senior Researcher in his office. Critics argue that these appointments reflect a culture of nepotism within the party, potentially undermining merit-based hiring practices. The Labour Party has defended these decisions by stating that all appointments are made on merit and follow proper procedures. However, the article suggests that such practices could be seen as a return to "old Labour" ways, where family connections play a significant role in political appointments.
