They don't deserve #anonymity, U.S. District Court Judge #AlanJohnson wrote in his #order Thursday. "...#Lawsuits are public events, and the public, especially here, has an important interest in access to legal proceedings. Plaintiffs may not levy serious accusations without standing behind them..."

There is only one possible -#starmer

But here are a few that got away

#alanJohnson (of course!)
#barbaraCastle
#andyBurnham - it still might happen one day , but long odds now I think

Really overdue - #labour have to replace #starmer with a #woman if there is a competent candidate
#lisaNandy #rachelReeves #angelaRayner #jessPhillips
all qualify in my book as do several more

I think it a mistake to focus on the leader - #labour is not a #cult its a #movement
