You cannot now suggest cutting the basic rate of income tax by two pence in the pound if you want to remain as Chancellor of the Exchequer in a Conservative Cabinet. The game has changed. The seats that now make the difference voted for Jeremy Corbyn in 2017, and they would have done so again if it had not been for the Brexit that will not be an issue in 2024.
With nowhere else to go, and in any case not all that numerous in the present House of Commons, the Right is finished. Sajid Javid sacked, Andrea Leadsom sacked, Jacob Rees-Mogg with no policy role, and now Priti Patel being sued by her Permanent Secretary. The Right is on the way out as the big spending ramps up in order to hold the Red Wall and turn more of it Blue.
What is still Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party is going to have a job defending Sir Windrush Scandal, although a former Director of Public Prosecutions is about to become its new Leader. Perhaps the Government should have sacked Sir Philip Rutnam over one of his past failures? But it didn't. It did this instead. So now, he is going to see the Home Secretary in court. Although she might not be the Home Secretary by then.
Still, the Conservative Party must face the competition in which it professes to believe. Ours is the 2020 Vision of a new political party, a new think tank, a new weekly newspaper, a new monthly cultural review, a new quarterly academic journal, and so much else besides. 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.
