Keep Corbyn

At least in the absence of Ian Lavery, there is no field for the position of Leader of the Labour Party. 

Jeremy Corbyn got 40 per cent of the vote before the Brexit debacle, putting him within two points of victory, and he got 32 per cent even after it. But none of these people would get 25 per cent.

It is his last duty to stay on, even to the age of 75, so that a new generation of Labour MPs might be selected and elected. Not that there will be any chance of that here, of course.

But I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.

  1. You should have been Leader of the Labour Party, you would have been if the small minded throwbacks in the party round here hadn't hated swots. They wanted you in Consett but Lanchester puts the lower into lower middle class. I only hope there's someone now aged 15-25 and under your influence who'll get the Leadership eventually. But that'll be in 25-30 years time and it should have been you now.
