More Trouble Than He Is Worth

Keir Starmer has clearly been invited to speak from the platform of next year's Durham Miners' Gala, and clearly he has accepted.

But the security measures that would be necessary to prevent both a Black Lives Matter riot and a Palestinian bomb attack would ruin the entire event. 

Half a dozen armed police checkpoints between the bus station and the racecourse? Armoured helicopters whizzing overhead? Armoured boats going up and down the Wear? No, thank you very much, indeed.

In this as in so many other ways, Keir Starmer is far, far, far more trouble than he is worth.
