What a week for politics

A new Labour leader and deputy; a new prime minister; the old prime minister standing down as an MP; a Tory defection; tomorrow, a new Cabinet? Truly, one doesn’t want to get too far from a computer at the moment.

    Another by-election is hardly good news for the party’s finances; at least it’s not a marginal, I suppose.

    Quentin Davies is pro hunting, Tory squire who is against gay rights.
    I am not very happy about the part welcoming this man.

    For sure, James. But doesn’t it say something that the party receiving defections is the one which has been in power for a decade?

    Tim - they need you to go and run one of them, clearly.

    I think what it tells us is that Labour has ceased to be Labour.

    Just like it stopped being the Labour party when Alan Howarth defected in 95; Peter Temple-Morris in 98; Shaun Woodward in 99; Robert thing from Wantage in 2005.

    You forgot to mention Sir Oswald Mosley.
