"Never mind North West Durham," writes a correspondent, "If Tony Blair still thinks that he is so popular, then Labour is looking for a candidate at Sedgefield."
Yes, Blair will be 71 in 2024. But do not his country, his party and his old constituency now need him more than ever? Only one person lost North West Durham for Labour, and that person was neither Tony Blair nor Jeremy Corbyn.
As to its candidate here next time, they either put up Simon Henig against me, or they and he are too frightened. After all, he will have precious little else to do following Labour's loss of overall control of Durham County Council in 2021, and very possibly the loss of his own seat.
Assuming, that is, that he was not still in prison for what he had tried to do to me. In 2024, he will very probably barely have started his stretch. Not that I have anything in principle against Labour members of Durham County Council. Of the 400 or so people who voted for me for Parliament, about two per cent, around one in 50, were Labour members of Durham County Council.

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.
