As the rhetoric over a proposed Brexit deal hots up, the Labour party is continuing to look for ways of causing enough mayhem to warrant a general election. What a resulting Corbyn-led government would mean for the country hardly bears thinking about, but the prospect of the current largely invisible members of the shadow cabinet moving into Downing Street is frightening.
Corbyn himself and his right hand man, John McDonnell, are a pretty frightening pair on their own, with their hard line Marxist philosophy , but of the rest, how many of us can name more than 2 or 3 ? Former Director of Public Prosecutions turned politician, Keir Starmer, appears regularly as does the almost unbelievably arrogant Lady Nugee, otherwise known as Emily Thornberry; the softly spoken and often condescending Barry Gardiner and Rebecca Long-Bailey, the shadow Business Secretary whose invented double barrelled name says much about her pretentiousness, are 2 more, but here the well begins to run dry. Deputy party leader Tom Watson has almost disappeared from view over the last couple of years while even the normally pretentious Diane Abbot has been unusually absent. Of the rest, who can name even one ?
Could this bunch of nonentities really be put in charge of our country ? Wealthy and privileged, self serving and willing to do anything in pursuit of power, they profess one thing and do another. Even Corbyn and McDonnell would insulate themselves from the terrifying effects of their own policies, presiding in Stalinesque grandeur over the proletariat. This mob have hidden behind their highly subjective 'Six Tests' as a way of clearing the decks for a vote against almost any Brexit agreement that is cobbled together, irrespective of its content and simply in pursuit of office. The interests of the nation matter not a jot to them.
Whatever Mrs May comes up with, the one thing we cannot risk is a Corbyn-led dictatorship.
