Here is a contention that may rattle a few tea cups. It is that on the whole the Left is keener on killing people than the Right. Of course I don't mean the Far Left and the Far Right. Stalin and Mao were just as addicted to mass murder as Hitler. They were all equally blind to Christian teaching about the sanctity of human life.

Shortly before he died in 2015, former Labour Chancellor Denis Healey declared that the ‘class war is over’. He added that ‘in my time it was the dominant element in politics, but now nobody gives a b***ery’. Healey hadn’t bargained for Sir Keir Starmer, who had just been elected an MP. Nor had he factored in Angela Rayner, then also new to the Commons, and about to join forces with hard Left Jeremy Corbyn. The class war is back.

No one will remember Rachel Reeves’s speech yesterday or her fantasy spending review for long, possibly including the Chancellor herself. This is because it will soon be overtaken by events.

Let’s assume Sir Keir Starmer wants to win the next election. Let’s also assume he has no desire to be replaced as Prime Minister in the next year or so by Wes Streeting or Angela Rayner or anyone else. He’s a politician, after all, and politicians relish power – Starmer more than most, I would think. I also suggest that he’s at least averagely intelligent, and should be able to weigh up the chances of any policy succeeding.
