The report exposing the depths of Labour's incompetence - that even Tony Blair (of all people) can make.

However we are well beyond generous applications of snake oil as a sufficient response.

Blair speaks.
If he says there is no plan then the opposite is probably true.

DJ - yes, even Tony Blair notices that Starmer's crew can't even make the politics coherent. Perhaps because there is no coherent political pathway through global, EU and national politics.

Mike - yes, the opposite probably is true, there is an EU/global plan.

As has been said before, even Baldrick had a plan....

Chris - a cunning one too.

It’s not entirely clear whether Harman’s ‘unreasonable demands’ are objectively or subjectively so.

The confusion isn’t helped by a certain cavalier inconsistency with quotation marks on the part of journalists, but I have a horrible feeling that Ms Harman would willingly put forward an agenda even knowing that it was entirely unreasonable as long as it suited her purpose.

Macheath - I have a similar feeling - Ms Harman would willingly put forward such an agenda. Like Jeremy Corbyn she gives the impression of someone who has been a politician for far too long, as if she has lost something important which is now beyond her reach.
