"Seriously. For how long can a man make a very good living by writing the same column every week. 

How on earth can someone in the year 2024 still be assessing everything by sorting into two bins: Blairite/Good and Non-Blairite/Bad? 

For the love of baklava, ENOUGH."

    "An extract from the article: 
    
    "I don’t believe that Starmer was oblivious to the symbolism of moving her portrait; he is better at politics than that. Although if he was unaware, that also tells you something important about him. But I assume it was deliberate, and fits with his image of his government as being on the side of the working class.
    
    "It is a part of the Starmer project that is defiantly Not-Blairite: Angela Rayner’s four-day week; Louise Haigh’s no-strings pay rise for train drivers; Ed Miliband’s tilting at windmills.""
