  I find this 'Labour just has to sit back and enjoy the ride' line bafflingly naive. Labour is up to its neck in this calamity precisely because it showed cowardice when it had a duty to speak out. Ever since, it has whimperingly nuzzled at the edges of the various increasingly irrational policies that have succeeded the ur-irrationality of 'lockdown'. Imagine (if you can) de Pfeffel in his new black dress; and here's Starmer at the dance complimenting Al on the colour and fit, only suggesting the repositioning of that sequin and this tassel: in that grotesque image you have the measure of Labour's complicity. If you think they're getting out of this untainted you're off your tree.
  
  But I can see how much of the left might be licking its deluded lips at the prospect; de Pfeffel's done the job of creating the precedents for the abolition of liberty, for government by decree, and for the state's micro-management of private and social life that's every authoritarian's wet dream.
