Got to admire their persistence. Proper endurance sport stuff.

Not gonna happen. Dems don’t have the will or strength to see it through. It will all be it’s time to kiss and make up and not speak about the recent unpleasantness. The institutions will continue as corrupt as before and we’ll do it all again.

He’d be in the cabinet.

Dems have to grasp the nettle and expand the Court(s). Institutional reverence is complicity at this stage.

Michael Foot was very much not part of Militant.

Except unlike Militant they genuinely have captured much of the thinking of the leadership of the Labour Party.
