At Any Time

Were they even there a fortnight, the handful of British teenagers who were supposedly training the enormous Ukrainian Armed Forces in something or other? They were certainly not there a month. Ukraine's 215,000 regulars and 250,000 reservists give a certain context to talk of 100,000 Russian troops anything up to hundreds of miles from the border, and therefore, like, you know, in Russia.

It is easy to laugh at Liz Truss, and we should not let that stop us. But she is nowhere near as dangerous as the lunatics Ben Wallace and Tobias Ellwood, who need to be removed from their positions as a matter of the utmost urgency, taking Tom Tugendhat with them. Or the lunatic David Lammy, who went so far as to go to Kiev to push for war.

As much as anything else, how is support for the Azov Battalion compatible with the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism? Or, indeed, with any conceivable definition of anti-Semitism? Oh, for a Shadow Shadow Foreign Secretary, steeped in the tradition of anti-Stalinist anti-Fascism before and during the War, which became the tradition of supporting neither Soviet, nor Nazi-infested "Western", expansionism.

  1. What do you reckon to the plan to deselect the Shadow Shadow Foreign Secretary?

    1. They must know that he would win the seat without the Labour Party. Is that what they want? Perhaps it is.
