Oli,
It's true that yesterday Keir Starmer again used the term "my party".
Perhaps he wishes.
Or maybe he's clutching on in faint hope.Either way, to democrats, his cheeky claim of Party ownership is irritating and unnecessary. There are many fine words to describe a mutually respectful group of political allies. Colleagues; comrades; even genuine friends.
My own favourite term is "team".Fortunately, none of the main U.K. parties are burdened with hereditary monarchy.
Oli, if you should decide to enter democratic politics, I hope you will quickly experience the value of working in many areas with courtesy and respect with mainstream political opponents. Because this is often in the wider interests of local people you seek to represent.
The toxic mix of the Mandelson scandal is bad enough. There's no need to add in your own irrelevant dislike of David Lammy.

Yes, please don't mention the local MP, and the likelihood of him becoming the Prime Minister. It's also entirely inappropriate that the Foreign Minister who officially appointed and endorsed Peter Mandelson to the role of ambassador be mentioned in the context of the 'Mandelson scandal'.
We must be careful to focus solely on Mandelson's personal depravity, lest we sully the good name of the Labour Party. The party of Blair, Campbell, Lammy, Cooper, Akehurst, Streeting etc etc.
