Old Rope?

Wes Streeting turns out to be an anti-vaxxer, and not only in relation to Covid-19. He and Keir Starmer want to privatise the NHS, or at least the parts of it that they thought that you should visit, yet, in the spirit of Education Secretaries who have tried to dictate when pupils should be sent out of class, they are determined to burden us with their amateur medical opinions. Ignore them. Or, if you are a doctor, take some sort of action against them.

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.
