It already exists.
It is called the Labour Party.
Ken Loach's effort is a sad throwback to the Blair years, as if those were somehow still going on.
In fact, Dan Hodges has left the Labour Party. In which case, why has Ken Loach not joined it?
It is back where it should be, where you always were. You have been proven completely right. Only a shame your health has not held up to enjoy the rightful fruits of it.
ReplyDeleteJust to add, as long as the other one never gets anything out of it. To the limited extent he was ever capable of political opinion they were all wrong and the party has given up all of them.
ReplyDeleteMust be nice for him to be on 50 grand a year to stop him trying to get a seat. They are that frightened any CLP might be silly enough to select him. That is extremely unlikely but they don't dare take the risk. He is so thick, he doesn't even realise. He definitely doesn't realise he kept you out of Parliament and the Cabinet, a sort of treason because it is so obviously in the national interest for you to be there.
All for a seat he did not win on a council that does not exist any more. Whose idea was it that the qualification for that was to belong in a bad boy band or a mediocre football team instead of serious politics? The voters of Lanchester didn't agree. You should have put up then, you would have won hands down against that insult to the electorate.
But the party is back where it belongs now, back where you have always been.
Hate to intrude on private grief about "Left unity", but I only just found out that Owen Jones wants to abolish faith schools.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the Monarchy, and the Lords.
And he says he wants to "abolish Oxbridge"-or at least all those pesky interviews, tutorials, exams and the rest that actually keep its standards moderately high, despite Levellers like him.
You can shove your "Left unity" where the sun doesn't shine.
I prefer patriotism, thanks.
The Thatcher Government wanted to abolish church schools; Kenneth Baker still does. Labour's record in office could not be more different.
ReplyDeleteThe New Right always wanted to abolish the monarchy, and it still does. Many of its members are now Conservative MPs.
Abolishing the Lords has been Conservative policy for most of your life. It has never been Labour policy.
Abolishing the Lords was Labour policy under Michael Foot in the 1983 Election.
ReplyDeleteThat already proves how stupid you are.
Never mind that Labour then pretty much achieved that under Blair in 1998 (saving 92 of the Lords was hardly a victory).
You lost the argument before you started typing.
You clearly haven't even done your homework, and read Foot's 1983 suicide note.

ReplyDeleteNo, it wasn't, you silly little boy. You are out of your depth again.
Now go to bed or slit your wrists, I don't care which.
