"Oh, I Say You've Been Misled, You've Been Had, You've Been Took"

The BBC is valiantly insisting that Keir Starmer had to be heard "without the applause". As if an audience would have whooped and hollered at this morning's stirring oratory. 

But Starmer has successfully played those who had thought that he was a Re-joiner, which he probably never really was.

And he has successfully played who had believed his 10 Pledges, which even he himself could probably never have recited. 

He formally abandoned the first part last week, and he formally abandoned the second part this morning.
