Corbyn: The People’s Prime Minister
Considering the disruption caused to British politics by Brexit, Labour had a very good conference indeed. At last it has broken through all the internal arguments, some but not all, the dying gasp of the failed New Labour project and emerged once again as the radical party of the left.
Its roots and its purpose are to advance the quality of life of the ordinary people who are the backbone of the state and who fight its wars, protect its health, maintain its services, enforce its laws, educate its young and build a future better than the past. The means a re-structured economy which creates new wealth to be shared among the many rather than the current model which ever enriches the few.
Corbyn has transformed Labour and given it back its soul. He is now on course to become the first people’s prime minister since Clement Attlee.

Life Expectancy Plateau.
This is a disturbing report, not least because GB comes out worst in Europe. Of course in comparison to when I was young, people live very much longer than was the expectation then. There are a lot of factors involved, but one which is very important in the current political climate is the fact that the economy now favours the rich over the poor and years of austerity have led to a reduction in the quality and quantity of public services right across the piece. It stands to reason that the vulnerable young and the infirm old who do not enjoy a background of affluence, suffer most.
So another thing for Labour to address when it becomes the government.

Tory Trial
It is difficult to recall a time when there appears literally no way out for the Tory party when, at the same time, it is in government. Its party conference next week threatens to become a spectacle for ghouls, disinterested in the politics and ravenous for the bloodletting. Yet such is the unpredictability of politics at the moment, none can reliably speculate on a likely outcome for anything. Anything at all.
As things now stand at the moment of typing, we are told the cabinet unanimously backs the Chequers deal, already rejected by the EU and certain of defeat in the Commons. This is because Labour, which opposes Chequers, will vote against it in the Commons and will be joined by the Tory hard Brexiteers, led by the nappy phobic Rees-Mogg. The Scot Nats and the Lib Dems will join in. That will bring about the collapse of the government and a general election. Somewhere in the mix may be a second referendum.
So it is unlikely that the government will stick to Chequers and will instead line up behind some compromise deal agreed at the last minute with the EU. But that might very well meet the same fate. The problem with Theresa May’s administration is that, split from the very start, it has not been, in the real meaning of the word, a government in power. It has been, and still is, an argument in progress.
