As what will soon be Keir Starmer's Labour Party moves to purge Woman's Place UK and others, a new party is about to be registered, to uphold family and community values by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty.
Among other things it will require all parliamentary candidates to subscribe to the following: "Sex is a biological fact, and is immutable. There are two sexes, male and female. Men and boys are male. Women and girls are female. It is impossible to change sex. These were until very recently understood as basic facts of life by almost everyone."
There is of course a certain "First, they came for..." quality to all of this. But another required subscription will be to the following: "The definition of anti-Semitism in the Oxford English Dictionary is perfectly sufficient: "Hostility to or prejudice against Jews." The so-called IHRA Definition of Antisemitism is a denial of Black And Minority Ethnic, migrant and refugee experience such as leads to the Windrush scandal and to the fire at Grenfell Tower, and as a denial of the ancient indigenous Christian presence in the Holy Land it contributes significantly to the worldwide persecution of Christians."

Politically, the last four and a half years have belonged to those who have suffered the most, under all three parties, since the Callaghan Government's turn to monetarism in 1977, and by whom any change of government during that period has been impossible to detect. They made Jeremy Corbyn the Leader of the Labour Party, they decided the EU referendum for Leave, they reelected Corbyn, they deprived Theresa May of her overall majority, and they have given an overall majority to Boris Johnson because Corbyn had abandoned his 2017 commitment to Brexit. Had he not done so, then Labour would now be the largest party in a hung Parliament.
But we have not exchanged one one-party state for another. Ours is the 2020 Vision of a new political party, a new think tank, a new weekly newspaper, a new fortnightly satirical magazine, a new monthly cultural review, a new quarterly academic journal, and so much else besides. I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
We need politicians with vision and good character to lead us . I'm afraid we're far from that
