The 2019 General Election. Not just about politics but about life and death
I will write more on this but below is a brief comment on Dominic Cummings appearance before a Commons Committee this week. It appeared in letter format in the Morning Star on 29th May. I did send a similar thought to the Guardian which didn’t appear. I can hardly complain not least because I suspected the point confronted an awkward reality about their 2019 Election coverage they now prefer to avoid thinking about.
Dominic Cummings evidence on 2020 and how COVID was dealt with to a Commons Committee on 26th May saw comment about whether matters would have been different if Jeremy Corbyn had won the December 2019 Election.
On Friday 13th March 2020 I and others attended a meeting in Tottenham to mark the 20th anniversary of the death of Bernie Grant. Corbyn was the keynote speaker. It wasnt really what the audience wanted to hear just then but he insisted on opening his speech by underlining the dangers of COVID and urging people to take care. 10 days later as infections surged Boris Johnson reluctantly decided a national lockdown was needed.
It now appears that the 2019 Election wasn’t just about party politics but about matters of life and death.
