And even better news on this today. #johnMcTernan has written an article effectively telling #keirstarmer that he needs to define #labour more clearly. #McTernan matters because he cannot be dismissed easily as one of the "usual suspects" as say I might be. He was part of the original #blair team. He is calling now for an explicit embrace of #Bidenomics and the consequent repudiation of "neoliberalism" . Which is consistent also with staying at least as #green as #labour still is.

#JohnMcTernan is right to contrast #DianneAbbott's apology with the pig-headed obstinacy and gracelessness of #DominicRaab, and also to point out that Abbott has suffered no end of #racism and #misogyny.

That said, Abbott has rarely been right about anything in politics, and is generally speaking useless. There is a hierarchy of prejudice in the #LabourParty, as there is throughout society as a whole. The problem is that Abbott is part of it.
