Today would be a good day to join the Labour party. Not in a bid to control its political direction, but as a democratic imperative.
The last few years have shown what happens when the opposition ceases to function. Now we have to live with the consequences. This can't be allowed to go on.
I can't do it myself. I find it icky when political journalists are party members, even in this kind of tactical capacity. But if I wasn't a political journalist, that's what I'd be doing today.
