Exit Strategy

In three weeks under Keir Starmer, Labour has become a party whose donors join the Conservative Party's in demanding that the lockdown be lifted for the sake of corporate profit. Therefore, Starmer demands an "exit strategy", placing him well to the right, in the very worst sense, of Dominic Raab. 

Starmer's refusal to prosecute Jimmy Savile seems to be cutting through. And his outrider is Neil Coyle, who identifies so completely with the other side that he takes offence on its behalf against the Labour MP whose frontbench position he not only covets, but has quite possibly been promised.

Hey, ho. Where is the 20 point lead that Starmer's supporters promised his party? Where is a 10 point lead? Where is a one point lead? Labour is behind the Conservatives everywhere apart from London, including where it took the most votes and won the most seats last December. Labour is ahead of the Conservatives in London by only a third of its lead under Jeremy Corbyn. Labour is only half as popular as the Conservatives in Wales.

When is the coup going to start? Why has it not started already? As my closest comrade said to me this week, "I can't wait for the next Election, for the complete and utter creaming that they are going to get." He was not talking about "the Tories". You see, two can play that game. And why not? The Budget of March 2020 has ended the era that began with the Budget of December 1976. The Centre is the think tank for this new era. Please give generously.
