Some plan to deliver direct addresses or attend counter-rallies, including Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.). Others, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), will likely skip the speech altogether. And some, like Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), might attend and cause distractions, defying House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' warning against disruptions.

I really want this Labour government to succeed, and sometimes that means having the difficult conversations, she said in her email to constituency Labour parties. I won't snipe from the sidelines. But when we get things wrong, I have the guts to say we need to change course. We need to listen to the country, and our movement. When we don't, we make mistakes that overshadow our achievements. That's how we succeed and that's where our strength lies.

I saw how challenging reshuffles can be for PM and party when I was chief whip under Rishi Sunak. They tend to make more enemies than friends, even when they are carefully planned and executed. Worse, the friends they make were probably your friends anyway, and the enemies you make are the ones who used to be your friends. In other words, there are only downsides.
