On Question Time, James Bartholomew echoed numerous gloating articles. Wes Streeting has sold the pass on the National Health Service. Its privatisation would now face no Official Opposition. On Sunday, Keir Starmer endorsed Streeting's views, effectively naming Streeting as his successor as Prime Minister in the course of the next Parliament, at the end of which Starmer will be 67 to Streeting's 46.
But Starmer's dishonesty is becoming a story. He lied to his party members to get their votes, so he would lie to anyone else to get their votes. We are heading for a hung Parliament. To strengthen families and communities by securing economic equality and international peace through the democratic political control of the means to those ends, including national and parliamentary sovereignty, we need to hold the balance of power. Owing nothing to either main party, we must be open to the better offer. There does, however, need to be a better offer. Not a lesser evil, which in any case the Labour Party is not.
Streeting scares the life out of me.
