Good riddance. Amazed it took him so long.

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

Field wrote a piece for the Telegraph about "How Brexit is a new opportunity for Britain", like some Ukip nutter dreaming of a new empire in Antarctica, or on the Moon.

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 came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Now another MP is threatening to leave. As someone on Facebook put it, "it's like the rubbish is taking itself out".

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.
