Shifting Sands

Simon Jenkins tells it as it is.

But the prison contract with Saudi Arabia has been cancelled. Exactly as demanded by Jeremy Corbyn.

That is the real political story of the day, the week, the month. Ignore any other guff. This is a tectonic shift in British politics. Independence from Saudi Arabia is now on the agenda.

And the humiliation of Michael Gove is complete. Even compared to the time when he became the first Education Secretary ever to be sacked on the orders of the teaching unions.

Still, it is notable that the only things that Gove has done in his new job have been reversals of the policies of a predecessor who was even worse.

  1. They are trying to spin it as a Gove win! Gove, the biggest neocon of the lot! He and Cameron were bounced into it by Jeremy who should make that point at PMQs tomorrow.
