The Bare Minimum

The usual shroud-waving, and screaming of blue murder, has greeted Labour's announcement that the young would have the same minimum wage as the older.

Tony Blair never did that, and most Labour MPs acknowledge no Leader but Tony Blair. If this were proposed as an amendment to a Government Bill in this Parliament, then scores of them would abstain, and Change UK would vote against it.

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.
