A New Leadership?

I do not know why the Labour Party Conference is not being held in the usual manner. It would hardly have breached the Rule of Six.

Wherever was supposed to have been hosting it probably refused to submit its black citizens to the threat to their physical safety that would have been the arrival of KKKeir Starmer and his supporters, such as those are.

They are crowing again at one of their occasional ties with the Conservatives. A mere tie, under the present circumstances. With a party that, since it will go into the next General Election with an overall majority of 80, would still win handily if both main parties took exactly the same number of votes.

When Labour and the Conservatives were tied last year, then the same people who are wetting themselves with glee today were demanding that Jeremy Corbyn resign for not being 20 points ahead. Ah, yes, 20 points ahead. That was where Starmer was supposed to put them.

There is a whole generation of us who are now in middle age and to whom, with the partial exception of a Corbyn Project that never took in most of the Labour Party's MPs or any of its all-powerful staff, Labour has always been to the right of the Conservatives. In government as well as most of the rest of the time, its economic policy has been so since the month of my conception, December 1976.

Alas, we are to be denied the Palestinian bomb that would have enabled British politics to start again without the Labour Right. Better luck next year. Although by then, will the Palestinians still consider a Labour Party Conference worth bombing? Some of us already would not. Please give generously.
