Not A Priti Party

Boris Johnson and Priti Patel might not want Britian First, as it is pleased to call itself, but it has a more suitable electoral vehicle readily to hand.

The Labour Party is now led by a former Director of Public Prosecutions. This is as if Bull Connor had been, not merely the member of the Democratic National Committee that he was, but the party's nominee for President. That state of affairs will more or less come to pass this year. 

Unlike the Conservative Party, the Labour Party subscribes to the IHRA Definition. It no longer supports the Chagossian cause, or self-determination for Kashmir. It has replaced Diane Abbott with an all-white Shadow Home Office team that was yesterday outflanked from the left by Patel.

The Labour Party's staff has been shown to be rampantly racist; one of those who have been so exposed has been calling me a "mulatto" since 2003, when he was on the staff of the then Government Chief Whip. 

And Labour has failed to oppose an early relaxation of the lockdown despite the far greater risk of Covid-19 to BAME people. But then, it has never had any idea what it thought about the lockdown in general. It has certainly never explicitly supported it.
