A Forde In The Road

The Labour Party had been on course to win those libel actions. Yesterday's settlement was purely political.

But it has killed off the Forde Inquiry into rampant anti-black racism among the party's Blairite staff, one of whom has been calling me a "mulatto" for nearly 20 years.

So a combination of mass abstention, voting for small Left parties, and voting for locally organised Independents, is going to bring the Black Wall crashing down as hard as the Red Wall.

No one doubts that next year's census will show Keir Starmer's own constituency to contain more BAME voters than the size of his majority.

We really could do this. We really could kick the Leader of the Labour Party out of his seat.

And the anti-racist movement could not have a sweeter victory than to do that to a former Director of Public Prosecutions.
