What should be the armorial bearings of the newly ennobled Luciana Berger? I have been an unsuccessful parliamentary candidate against the Labour Party as long as she has, and I unsuccessfully set up a political party a very great deal longer ago than she did, so where is my peerage? Indeed, I have been a failed parliamentary candidate since quite a while before several of our new legislators for life were likewise rejected by the electorate. What should be my coat of arms, and why?
Does Emily Thornberry think that Berger is a "bastard"? Those whom Thornberry has branded as such, five years after an alleged event that she had never previously mentioned, were not candidates against Labour at that General Election, which it is Rachel Reeves who has told interviewers that she was "pleased" that Labour had lost, with everything that had followed from that during the last Parliament.
Likewise, Stephen Kinnock was caught on camera despondent that his party had not been wiped out in 2017. Kinnock's boss these days, Wes Streeting, is angling to become Prime Minister next year in order to complete his generation of Labour politicians' lifetime mission to privatise England's National Health Service, a measure that would be unthinkable in any other part of the United Kingdom, yet which could not be voted against by voting Conservative, Liberal Democrat, or Reform UK, even if the damage had not already been done by then. But Streeting has blotted his copybook by banning puberty blockers and by opposing assisted suicide. While he is still the most likely bet, he is no longer the dead certainty that he would have been until very recently.
Keep an eye on Kinnock?
