After a period of reflection, I thought I might be able to
work out why Labour’s election defeat had been so catastrophic. I also thought
that I might be able to understand how the party can re-emerge as a viable

I went for a walk along the Basingstoke
Canal on Saturday. It was a fantastic late autumn afternoon, and, on my way, I
came across a couple of Pill Boxes and anti-tank cylinders.
I don’t know why, but I always thought Pill
boxes were exclusive to the Kennet & Avon Canal, perhaps because that is
