So we've got to recover that.
The experiment of handing it to experts on the one hand and judges on the other, which is what Blair did, though he didn't fully realize what he was doing, has been utterly, completely, and demonstrably catastrophic.
And the fact is now obvious.
The left cannot admit it.
The left created this.
It's become its Bible.
Because remember, the reason that all this happened, why did all this happen under Blair?
It happened because people like Peter Mandelson had already realized that the kind of Labour Party that Burnham wants was stone dead.
New Labour happens because the intelligent people like Blair, like Campbell, like Mandelson, knew socialism didn't work.
So they've got to come up with something else.
And this hyperactivity, where they literally plop down ideas from the shelf, these strange notions of international law and whatever that have been cooked up by people like Homer, people like Tom Bingham, people like Starmer, they just latch onto them.
And so New Labour itself was a testament to the failure of the old Labour Party.
What's now happened, of course, is that the Starmer government shows the failure of new Labour, that these things do not work.
And what is the Labour Party going to do?
It's going to try to go back to a double failure of old Labour.
So the right, Francis Constantine, has never had more open goals.
But there's been an extraordinary failure
to explain an extraordinary... I cannot imagine a political situation which should be more favourable to the right than the one that we're in at the moment, with one very important point, which is, of course, that unfortunately, thanks to the folly of David Cameron, the even worse folly of George Osborne, the absurd folly of Boris Johnson, the Conservative Party, and Theresa May, I would shoot...
No, I'm quite serious.
I think, I think, I, no, I'm being really serious.
