PREMIUM Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer leaving his north London home following the result in the Hartlepool parliamentary by-election. Picture date: Friday May 7, 20121.. ALMOST all politicians share a delusion. Since people go into politics to change things and get things done, it’s a natural enough misapprehension, but it’s still an error.

Look at tax – reform of which is perennially the priority of both Left (which wants more of it, at least on the rich) and Right (which claims to want less of it, but somehow always puts it up anyway).
