To Live Like This?

How would a Radio Four presenter have reacted if a Labour MP had expressed the intention to break the law, and the hope that other people would do likewise? 

I hope that Steve Baker will mount next year the Leadership campaign that he never mounted last year. Among other things, he runs a charity to promote Austrian economics, and thus the gold standard. 

That versus Rishi Sunak, the champion of State Aid as Modern Monetary Theory's first Finance Minister in the world, is a fight that needs to be fought.

Whether or not there will also be a Labour Leadership Election next year depends on whether or not next May's local elections will ever be held. Covid-19 may yet save the Labour Right from oblivion. At least for the time being.
