United We Stand

Will Hutton sets out the level of demoralisation across the public services.

The Police at yesterday's demonstrations by junior doctors were in some cases wearing stickers in support, adhered to their uniforms.

They were very much in the tradition of the Police in Manchester, who told attendees at the Conservative Party Conference to get over themselves, and who praised the protesters in that case, too.

The Trade Union Bill will not be amended to the satisfaction of David Davis and others, so it might never be given a Third Reading in the House of Commons.

But even if it were, then what came next would be certain to make the hunting ban look like a model of rigorous enforcement.

Truly, the 1980s were a very long time ago.
