Amazing! George traipsed lightly through all of these purported Labour 'clans', without mentioning the 800lb gorilla in the room, the UK's naked aggression in the MENA and our all round support for the Gaza genocide and the development of 'Greater Israel' in the West Bank, Southern Syria and Lebanon (so far).
It may be supposed that war-hawks like Akehurst and Glasman (the only Labour representative to be invited to President Caligula's inauguration) will keep Starmer's nose to the mass-murder grindstone, even if the supposed 'human rights lawyer' hadn't so eagerly forgotten every single one of the Nuremberg Principles...
It may suit the commentariat to look at these imaginary Labour shibboleths as if they mean something to the ordinary voter, but they don't. Here are the facts:
1) Starmer is a fawning, cringing sycophant who will do what the nearest rich person tells him to; hence his love of Rupert Muroch, for instance. Does he really imagine the voters who are losing wealth and employment because of Brexit will care about higher defence spending, which will go to the Defence Industry anyway?
2) Vichy Labour is now the new Tory party - it has no cure for Brexit (which it chooses not to address) and will move further and further into its hard right pantomime (on migration, etc., jobs in the NHS) as Starmer's popularity crashes to new lows.
3) At the next election a horrific version of the Blackshirts will come to power (a Jenrick/Farage fusion, perhaps?) because Vichy Labour has not only done nothing but continues to show it will do nothing other than (a la David Lammy) file huge expenses claims and look for executive jobs outside politics.
At last Labour has sloughed off the worn-out Marxism of the Corbyn days and adopted a realpolitik view of the world. We no longer have workers groaning and toiling under the heavy hand of Capitalism, and neither is there the cruel poverty of the early and mid-19th. Century. All citizens need protection from our enemies, both internal and external and Starmer as leader of a decent Labour Party can deliver this.
George - please stop writing about Heathrow expansion as it were a done deal. It isn’t. As I am sure you know, the economic benefits are far from proven, and the noise & pollution absolutely proven (Reeves’ sustainable fuel rhetoric is tosh).
