I watched Sir Kier Starmer’s speech earlier, and I must admit I found it refreshingly honest. Unlike most politicians these days, particularly Tories, Starmer seemed approachable and trustable. Yet it must be said, Brexit was notable in it’s absence: Starmer didn’t mention the crime of 2016 once, like some colossal elephant in the room. The damage our withdrawal from the EU is doing is becoming clearer and clearer, so much so that any honest opposition MP should surely be talking about reversing it.

Indeed, John flagged this Reuters article up for me earlier: it was little noted in the mainstream press, but the country has now scrapped the cap on banker’s bonuses which the EU put in place. So while the rest of us are struggling to get by in the cost of living crisis, these super-rich, arrogant bankers are now free to award their selves obscene pay rises, despite doing essentially nothing for the wider community. I find that utterly perverse, although it was what Brexit was about all along: a right wing ploy to unleash the most sickening form of capitalism loose on the country.

If the Labour leader really cared about social justice as much as he says he does, surely such things are what he would be drawing our attention to.
