Combat Support?

If there were to be a case for electing Keir Starmer as the Official Opposition's potential Prime Minister, then it would be that Boris Johnson might have a "Yah Boo Sucks" moment and release Julian Assange. He ought in any case to do so if Anne Sacoolas were not extradited by a given date. Very generously, let us call that the end of February.

Already operating the British foreign policy most independent of the United States since 1941, Johnson ought at the very least to say that RAF Croughton and another nine or more American spy stations in Britain were going to lose their fake British names. Ideally, he would close them, as he is the first Prime Minister who might ever have the nerve to do. Spooky Starmer would certainly never do that.

Although the electorate deserves better, Starmer is the Leader that the Labour Party, left to itself, might very well now deserve. He is the nearest thing available to Benita Mehra, who might very well end up as a Labour MP, but who is even more likely to end up as a Labour Peer via a few "advisory" roles. While anti-racism and anti-imperialism are absolutely fundamental to the struggle for economic equality and for international peace, the one per cent can be as diverse as it likes and still be the one per cent.

But no matter who had become the Leader of the Labour Party or anything else, 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.
