In the midst of the scandalous mistreatment of the great Paul Embery, consider that one of the Labour votes that last night defeated the weird, crossparty, anti-working-class motion on Brexit was cast by the great Ronnie Campbell.
You will rarely, if ever, go wrong if you are on the same side as him, but he is retiring at the next General Election, and he will be greatly missed in the next Parliament. He has no obvious successor in the present Parliamentary Labour Party, and he is most unlikely to have any in the next one, either.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party will be registered before House of Commons rises for the summer recess, even if I have to pay for it myself, ongoing lawfare or no ongoing lawfare.

And I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham even if I can raise only the deposit, which I could do by going pretty overdrawn, although that was not how I was brought up. I would still prefer to raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign, but I am no longer making my candidacy conditional on having done so. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
