Text of the day: “Woke with a start with this thought: what if there’s a design fault in the Labour Party? I mean why else do we always hate our leaders? Why this distaste for office as if power was somehow a betrayal? Why else would we spend most of our short life tearing ourselves in two?” – Bill in Steve Waters’s Limehouse
