Labour should engage in a which hunt not a witch hunt
Who could replace Gordon Brown ought to be where the energies go within the Labour Party rather than waste them on a witch hunt for any plotters who desire to unseat him in an undignified manner.
What makes the Derby such an interesting race is that a complete outsider can win.
I wouldn't put money on a Thatcher clone who is also blind and dyslexic, if Harriet Harman, recently speaking about Gordon Brown, cannot see what is wrong with this then she is the wrong person for the job: “He is the solution, not the problem”. Perhaps, if she had got the words solution and problem in the right order...
Because both Jack Straw and David Miliband supported torture via flights of extra-ordinary rendition, I would rule them out as unfit to run.
That leaves the field pretty wide open...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
Harriet Harman will get it because she is a yes man and prefers the hard line in anything. Easy for the processes to maniplulate.
ReplyDeleteLook, just dump Gordon. DO NOT appoint Harriet. Then ask Tony, what would Tony would do.
ReplyDeleteWhy Labour sacked their best leader ever, to replace with their worst ever leader, will be the subject of Politcal studies for a many a long year.
