My old friend Jonah Fisher has done sterling work in exposing the reality of Aung San Suu Kyi and the persecution of the Rohingya. When he started, then her crown was quite untarnished. But nobody sees her like that today.
Back in the heady days of Early Corbynism, I myself made a tiny contribution to helping to bring about a greater level of co-ordination among Britain's Rohingya, Chagossian and Dalit activists, now that there was finally a major political figure who cared about all three of their causes.
Like so many other things, while I have no doubt that Jeremy Corbyn still believes in them, he no longer ever talks about them. But send me to the coming hung Parliament, and I will.
