Driving here I passed the site of the Battle of Shrewsbury, where in 1403 Henry IV biffed Harry Hotspur. But in Liverpool yesterday an even nastier fight took place outside the Labour conference. Even H Bolingbroke might have hesitated to join this fray.
The Battle of Albert Dock kicked off when law-abiding feminists gathered to protest against Keir Starmer’s ambiguity on the great issue of our day: Can a woman have a whatnot?
Sir Keir’s dithering has been like that of an England batsman involved in a run-out. ‘Yes, no – sorry.’
The feminists were led by a short, platinum blonde, Posie Parker.
