Losing The Whip Hand

Labour is to whip an abstention on a General Election. So much for #GTTO ("Get The Tories Out"). Yes, there would have been anti-Corbyn Labour MPs who would have opposed this Election. Well, a three-line whip to support it would have flushed them out right in time for them to explain to their Constituency Labour Parties and to their constituents why they had tried to keep austerity going through another winter. I do not understand what has happened either to Jeremy Corbyn or to Nick Brown.

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. After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
