Mission Accomplished?

Hasn't the liberation of Iraq gone well? I cannot imagine why the regularly intervening Tony Blair and the ubiquitous Alastair Campbell are never asked about it.

Similarly, David Miliband is never asked about extraordinary rendition, or about his dodgy charity in New York. Since as long ago as 2007, when Blair first declared his intention to stand down, the BBC has been campaigning for this Miliband to become the Leader of the Labour Party.

But how old were many of today's Labour activists in 2007, or even in 2010 when he lost? He is nothing to them. Alas, though, he is something to most Labour MPs. 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.
