There'much to agree with. But much dubious too. How far is Starmer responsible for every decision taken when he was DPP? Is a barrister bound only to defend people of whom the left approves? Why is supporting a 2nd referendum so bad? Is it true that merely criticizing NATO earns instant expulsion?

The notion that Starmer knew nothing about the entrapment of Julian Assange, and the prevention of the Swedish Police interviewing him in London, is quite, quite mad. It was a major political case. The US was driving. If he didn't know, he was incompetent beyond words.

Supporting Ref2 as a principled issue on which there could be no compromise, then doing a 'whoops!'' on this the instant it did its job of hostile-framing Labour in 2019 was indeed bad.
