We all know the faults and failings of Jeremy Corbyn. But on this, his last night as Leader of the Opposition, consider that he, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott and the rest of that crowd vigorously opposed the Blair Government's attacks on civil liberties.
The "Conservative" "Opposition" of the day backed Blair to the hilt, but not so those who knew that the worst impact would be on the poor, the black, the working-class, the left-wing, and so on.
A Corbyn Government's economic response to Covid-19 would have been the same as we are having. But its civil liberties approach would have been entirely different. Ho, hum. This time tomorrow, the Leader of the Opposition will be a former Director of Public Prosecutions.
Then again, what of him? The Budget of March 2020, and the Government's response to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, have ended the era that began with the Budget of December 1976. The Centre is the think tank for this new era. Please give generously.
