As it happens Falling Down has just returned from the copy editors, so guess how I'll be spending the rest of the day and chunks of my free time this week? Don't be surprised then if blogging takes a bit of a hit. Still, it's great to see the whole thing quickly becoming more real following the previous update. Thanks again to friends, comrades, readers, and frequent comment-leavers for all the support and particulates of encouragement.
Well done, Phil. I look forward to September's publication date.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder, when surveying the current political scene, if the Tories' are looking to Starmer and co to serve as their locums whilst they regroup and renew. That would, of course, need those Tories with a modicum of sense to have the self-awareness to recognize their predicament. We should generally, never overestimate our opponent! This is one of those rare exceptions.
The intervention of Mandelson, reported today, with his advice to Starmer to be bolder and abandon the conceptual base of the 2019 manifesto is all of a piece with New Labour as the Thatcherism Continuity Band. It's just interesting to see the Labour right in the same boat as the Tories' today. They don't, however, appear to have a new Cameron waiting in the wings for when Johnson's reign comes to it's conclusion.
A new world is waiting to be born.
Great stuff, Phil. Look forward to reading it.
