Momentum Stalled?

If there are any charges, or even if there are not, then remember that they never charged numerous people from the 2015 General Election who freely admitted to having overspent such as to have made the difference between a hung Parliament and an overall majority. I have it on impeccable authority that Momentum only has £10,000. But it also has Twitter, Facebook, and enthusiasm.

Both the Conservatives and the Blairites were so convinced that a three-figure Conservative majority would be the end of Jeremy Corbyn that they are convinced that the eventual result, which some of us predicted, must have been the result of cheating. In fact, though, that was the result in 2015, as no one denies, but which the Crown Prosecution Service sees as not a matter of public interest.

"We rely on hundreds of thousands of dedicated council workers who go the extra mile in keeping our children safe," declares a letter bearing the name of Simon Henig, among many other shameless characters terrified for their positions now that there is a Labour Party.

I am told that there is now little chance that a figure of the extreme right-wing Labour machine on Durham County Council could expect the Labour nomination at North Durham when Kevan Jones retired, and in fact more chance that Kevan might be leaving sooner than he had anticipated. But Carl Marshall needs to know this: if he does not want me to contest every election that he did for the rest of his life or mine, whichever ended sooner, then he knows what he has to do.
