What fools Change UK, as they absurdly now call themselves, look today. What fools the members of their stay-behind network in the Parliamentary Labour Party look today. What fools all of those who have ever been rude about Jeremy Corbyn look today.
And what utter pillocks the European Research Group and the Democratic Unionist Party look today, releasing the rest of us to react to them as we had always wanted to do, by laughing ourselves silly at everything about them.
The ERG remains convinced that the mere loss of it would "split" the Conservative Party. Such delusion perfectly mirrors that of those who thought that their secession to the Independent Group, already almost forgotten, would "split" Labour.
Today, Corbyn is in the room, and they are not. He is no keener on a second referendum than Theresa May is, and he understands that, while such a thing would not formally split the Labour Party, it might do something even worse.
A second referendum would order Wales, the North and the Midlands to vote again until they gave the same result as London, a mentality exemplified by the decision to move this week's Question Time to London from Bolton. And a second referendum would order the working class to vote again until it gave the same result as the Fabian intelligentsia.
On either count, never mind both, the toxin from the Labour Party's having supported that would linger in the body of the Labour Movement for decades on end. It would poison every attempt to get anything done, certainly for 50 years, probably for 80 years, and possibly for 100 years, or even forever.
Laura Pidcock supports a second referendum. She voted for it on Monday. Unlike Kevin Barron, Ronnie Campbell, Sarah Champion, Rosie Cooper, Jon Cruddas, Caroline Flint, Yvonne Fovargue, Mary Glindon, Stephen Hepburn, Mike Hill, Kate Hoey, Dan Jarvis, Helen Jones, Kevan Jones, Emma Lewell-Buck, John Mann, Grahame Morris, Melanie Onn, Stephanie Peacock, Ruth Smeeth, Laura Smith, Gareth Snell, Graham Stringer or Derek Twigg, she did not vote against it.
Unlike Julie Cooper, Judith Cummins, Gloria de Piero, Chris Evans, Jim Fitzpatrick, Carolyn Harris, Mike Kane, Ian Lavery, Liz McInnes, Jim McMahon, Ian Mearns, Lisa Nandy, Jo Platt, Paula Sherriff, John Spellar or Jon Trickett, she did not even abstain.
Rather, she voted to order Wales, the North and the Midlands to vote again until they gave the same result as London. And she voted to order the working class to vote again until it gave the same result as the Fabian intelligentsia.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
