"À la recherche du temps perdu"

We are living through an era, analogous to 1868 - 1924, when the Labour Party was formed.

The Whigs fell apart from internal corruption(sounds familiar?), and while the Liberals were formed, many of the same people were involved.

thread 1/8

Subsequently, Lloyd George was also hugely corrupt, and the Liberals themselves fell.

The Labour Party entered Parliament in 1924, nearly one hundred years ago.

Ramsey McDonald was merely another carpetbagger, and it took another World War to see real change under Atlee.
2/8

Many "great" men, and some women entered the Labour Party, and for a while, Harold Wilson held them together, rather in the manner of a circus ringmaster.

But Roy Jenkin's ego got the better of both him and the situation.

The seat of Hartlepool includes the town of Hartlepool itself and the nearby villages of Hart, Elwick, Greatham, Newton Bewley and Dalton Piercy.

There were sixteen candidates on the ballot paper - the most for any UK Commons by-election since 2008.

These are the results in full:

The Turnout for the vote was 42.55 per cent.

Jill Mortimer (Conservative) - 15,529

Friends, subjects, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Labour, not to praise it.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Labour. The noble Keith
Hath told you Labour was ambitious:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Keith disinterred it.
Here, under leave of Mandrakesom and the rest–
For Keith is an "honourable" man;
So are they all, all "honourable" men–
Come I to speak in Labour’s funeral.

Labour was my part, faithful and just to me:
But Keiths says he IS ambitious;
And Keith IS an "honourable" man.
He hath sent many lefties home to Coventry
Whose subs did the Party coffers fill:
Did this in Corbyn seem ambitious?

@AllysonPollock

Does anybody have an interest in the #NHS ? 😊😉

Now I have your attention, may I show you @AllysonPollock 's superb #NHSReinstatementBill ?

It's here: allysonpollock.com/wp-content/upl…

It's complete. But the previously tabled attempt in 2018 was gerrymandered into submission ...

The Bill would:

• reinstate the government’s duty to provide the NHS in England,
• re-establish NHS England as a special health authority with regional committees and
modified functions,

• re-establish District Health Authorities, with Family Health Services Committees to administer arrangements with GPs, dentists and others,

We are going to have to face a simple and devastating truth on the left. Strategically, we are a fucking disaster.

Plans, cunning or otherwise, 'R NOT US.

Basically, in the long term, we have not a clue.

We are a tribe of Micawbers, "waiting for something to turn up".

"Not at all, and now, since this is a red-letter day in that I am hourly expecting something extraordinary to turn up, let us return and discover what culinary triumphs Mrs. Micawber has prepared for us."

We should rather seek out Mrs. Whiplash. 😒

@jeremycorbyn

On the rare occasion that something DOES turn up, like @jeremycorbyn , we fuck it up. In spades.

Why did we not turn up at Southside, with knobkerries and fire necklaces??? I will never know.

I am close to despair. 😒
