Through The Insitutions

And so Munira Mirza becomes Director of Boris Johnson's Number 10 Policy Unit. The Revolutionary Communist Party has now entered Government. Real Trotskyists, who really did support the Provisional IRA.

Look, the old RCP crowd has a colourful history. That ridiculous Aaronovitch creature, who has baggage of his own, once tried to link Jeremy Corbyn to Red Action, but it was in fact the lot who are now around Spiked, and several of whom are friends of mine, who were part of the Red Front electoral coalition with Red Action and others in 1987. Kenan Malik, of The Observer and of The Moral Maze, has come a very long way since he was Red Front's candidate at Nottingham East.

Claire Fox was second only to Nigel Farage, if perhaps jointly so with Ann Widdecombe, as the public face of the Brexit Party's wildly successful European Election campaign. First Past the Post hides quite how many Conservative voters there are at General Elections in the North West, but the huge majority of those 1.3 million in 2017 voted for the Brexit Party in 2019, putting Claire at the top of the poll.

And now, Munira Mirza becomes Director of Boris Johnson's Number 10 Policy Unit. The Revolutionary Communist Party has entered Government. Real Trotskyists, who really did support the Provisional IRA.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration. 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.
