It is extraordinary that after barely two years we are in a similar crisis of leadership in the Labour Government to what we saw in the later years of the Conservative Government.
It brings back painful memories to me, as I was a member of the Executive of the 1922 Committee which governed Party leadership elections. I was one of the “men in grey suits” – although we had women in the Executive and I rarely wore grey! Our task was to let the Prime Minister know the mood of backbenchers and views about issues of the day. It also had the ultimate role of telling the PM when his or her time was up.
I have been reading about a huge war and invasion, involving leaders in Iran and other Middle East regional leaders. Five cities were destroyed and thousands killed in a brutal war.
It happened though over 2,000 years ago and is probably one of the first recorded accounts of war in history – in Genesis 14.
