The Guardian reported in December 1989 that I was the Editor of the glossy magazine of the Revolutionary Communist Party, Living Marxism. This was an error. Both party and magazine are long since defunct but various successors such as Spiked and the Battle of Ideas flourish. In the meantime the politics moved from left to right, not unknown across the world it might be noted.
The Guardian has reported that Rishi Sunak was involved with an East London Free School between 2013-15 that was associated with the RCP’s successors. No doubt he saw no great issue with the right-wing ideas on offer but might perhaps have wondered who was purveying them.
After all his ex-mate Boris Johnson had employed another ex-RCP member Munira Mirza (resigned Feb 22) as a Culture Wars promoter in the Government of which Sunak was a member.
Anyway suffice to say I’m no fan of the RCP or Sunak wherever they pitch up on the political spectrum
