Field has become an independent Labour MP over the anti-Semitism row.

Still; tremendously glad that a malign force has made himself an irrelevant nobody.

He is no loss.

Twenty-odd years too late. But otherwise, yes.

My partner used to play Badminton with Kate Hoey between 73 - 75.

Not many people know that.

I don't agree. Since that would be buying into the Conservative narrative which paradoxically led to the party being in opposition.

The real performance piece was Scottish nationalism....a project which failed in it's own terms and with the defeatism of Blairite labour let the tories and a decidedly English agenda prosper.
