Think back over the last week for just one moment.  Has there been a day where the Labour Party haven’t left you feeling disappointed, or disgusted, or even apoplectic with rage?  I see three different opinions.   The first opinion, which seems to be an overwhelming minority, believes that Keir Starmer’s Labour - while having many faults - is still a better option than any Conservative government. The lesser of two evils, if you like. They might even slightly feel enthused by his leadership. Bless ‘em. The second opinion, one still held by close friends, believes the Labour Party is still the only realistic vehicle for societal change, so they’re hanging around in the hope of dislodging the monotonous Starmer, and then a lefty MP comes crashing to shore, carried by a wave of optimism, and the Labour Party, once again, returns to being a party of the people, for the people.  Then there’s the third opinion, one shared by a vast majority of respondents to this poll I put together on Thur

S ir Keir Starmer MP Leader of the Labour Party 21 September 2021 BY POST AND EMAIL Dear Keir, I write to resign membership of the Labour Party and consequently my elected offices as Wantage CLP Policy Officer, Executive Committee member and Conference delegate.  I will ask members of the Faringdon Labour Party branch for their view of my continued membership of Faringdon town council; but even if they wish me to continue, will no longer serve as a Labour Party councillor.

I cannot in all conscience remain a member of an organisation that would even consider this to be possible. I am an elected Labour councillor.  I am a solidarity member of Jewish Voice for Labour.  I was a judge for the Ann Frank Awards in

Let’s have a little natter about Boris Johnson’s cabinet reshuffle.  The perfect reshuffle would involve Johnson and his entire cabinet of hateful ghouls shuffling out of Downing Street and making their way to the after-dinner speech circuit, and they are very welcome to take the Tory reservists in the Labour Party with them.  Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.  It’s very easy to suggest Johnson has just swapped one soulless bastard for another, so I will, because that’s exactly what he has done. And some.  Let’s take a look at the Education top job.   Former fireplace salesman and tarantula fan Gavin Williamson, is no longer in charge of education, which is of course wonderful news, because Williamson has been a disaster from the day he walked into the Department of Education.  There has been a long standing theory that Williamson, being a former Tory chief whip, will know where the bodies are buried. That’s why
