Benn was attacked by the Right because they knew he was a true democratic socialist. His books Arguments for Socialism and Arguments for Democracy changed this 1979 Thatcher voter for ever.
Tony Benn arguing in 1975 against handing over democratic powers to European technocrats. Eloquent, powerful and prescient. This was the best of the Left.

By a mile the greatest sporting story of the week (that no one actually watched)

Once Jolleyne’s finished with Harrison he’ll be joining Carol, lying in the graveyard. #TheArchers

The exact opposite of what Labour heavyweight, Denis Healey, said in 1969:
“Once we cut defence expenditure to the extent where our security is imperilled, we have no houses, we have no hospitals, we have no schools. We have a heap of cinders.”
🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham suggests he won't cut benefits to pay for defence spending
"National security cannot come at the expense of social security"

Given that the Sheikh Obaid operation (currently the estate) has historically raced their horses at 4 and 5, it was only last night that I was analysing Bow Echo’s pedigree and his dosage of 1-5-7-9-0, his dosage index of 0.76, and his centre of distribution of -0.09, really lends itself more to a stamina bias than a speed bias, and after he emulated Frankel in winning the 2000 Guineas, the SJP Stakes and the Sussex in the same season, I had visions of Billy and Bow Echo quickening to win the 2028 Juddmonte International just as Frankel also did. Sadly that will now not happen. Being on the rail at Goodwood and watching Billy and Bow coming back in will live long in the memory. What a day that was. What a turn of foot. What an atmosphere. Happy retirement Bow Echo…….and thank you.
