"Politically, This Is Bold, It Is Audacious"

So says Laura Kuenssberg. It was called something else when Labour proposed it. And that was by Labour MPs.

But they will be led by Keir Starmer soon enough, and he can lead them in agreeing with Sajid Javid that a £30 billion stimulus package is an appalling idea.

Up here along the old Red Wall, however, we might think rather better of it. And this is where General Elections are won and lost. Although the Conservatives do have to face the competition in which they profess 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.
