The Liberal Democrats need to make it crystal clear that they do not welcome the support of Alastair Campbell. Their very young Remain First activists do not remember who and what he was. But the rest of us do, and he remains utterly unrepentant.
Having opposed the Iraq War, at least until it had started, the Lib Dems should have absolutely nothing to do with him. And after both the expulsion of Campbell and the pitiful showing for Change UK, Labour should seize the opportunity to expel Tony Blair.
Not that it will, of course. Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.

After Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott’s announcement that they are now the Second Referendum Party, no Remainer will have any reason to vote Lib Dem again. Campbell and others only voted Lib Dem to push Labour into adopting the “Peoples Vote” and its had the desired effect,
ReplyDeleteIt’s now the Tories and Brexit Party vs a Leftwing Remain alliance of Labour, Lib Dem, Green and SNP.
Labour has shot the Lib Dem’s fox by stealing their policy of a second referendum to overturn the result of the first one.
Not that many people care that much about Brexit. I doubt that Campbell has voted Labour in 10 years.
