Sharon Graham, the general secretary of Unite, has told the Labour Party to get a spine, which is a euphemism for grow a pair. Too bloody right. In just over two years' time we face the prospect of Trump in the White House and Johnson in Number Ten. Both countries are sleepwalking into this nightmare and what they have in common is a complete absence of effective opposition. This Labour leader is a disaster. His telling his ministers not to join workers on picket lines will come back to bite him bigtime. He thinks he can shout unrealistic "we have a plan" plans from the sidelines, shouts that are either laughable, ignorable or both. His effort to sideline the left is an automatic party-splitter and election-loser. No bullets are being bitten.
