Keir Starmer would watch England in the World Cup Final on his last day in office. But he has never met the nuclear test veterans. Such are the people who have spent more than a decade discrediting the anti-austerity, anti-war and anti-racist movement to keep the freebies that we hope, but do not expect, that they are now days away from losing.
For example, Natalie Fleet would have it that, “Nigel Farage and his gang of bin men get the same security as the rest of us. Sick of the faux outrage. None of them cared when a senior Reform UK politician was sharing my death threats!” Her predecessor as Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, Jess Phillips, has been known to describe Ann Widdecombe as “a little fascist beast”.
Kai Stephens and Laurence Fox will each be standing as one of those at Clacton, where they and everyone else look increasingly likely to be defeated, not by a bin man, but by a bin. While he waited for the next General Election to give him the chance to revive 3-2-1, Jon Harvey would presumably be in his seat, even if not in his Count Binface costume, on the next International Women’s Day, when Phillips would read out the names of every woman in Britain who had been killed by a man in the previous year. Including Ann Widdecombe.
