Today is the ninety-eighth birthday of Denis Healey. Ask him about the Chagos Islands. It is no wonder that Oliver Kamm loves him so much.
And it is no wonder that the President of the Provisional Government of Diego Garcia and the Chagos Islands has endorsed Jeremy Corbyn.
As to Corbyn's 30-odd-year-old remarks about the Falklands War, their reporting today is an important insight into just how controversial, by no means only on the Left, that conflict was at the time.
The point that money could be found for these things, but not for anything else, is even timelier now than it was then.
Still, that would be as nothing compared to a second war for the sake of fewer than three thousand people at the other end of the earth, who positively revelled in the fact that they were anything up to nine generations removed from this country.
Would there be public support for that? Really? I mean, really?

One thing about Margaret Thatcher is beyond dispute. She is dead.
