OK, then this is Labour-insider stuff and I value it. I live abroad and I've been appalled at the high level of susceptibility and level of report and debate I've been seeing in UK papers, since the Telegraph-n-Tory's Eton-playground style of war on Brown opened, and I'm grateful for a sane balanced and informed antidote.Roger Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658931599973303736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29618513.post-19909401462689459662010-01-19T12:46:43.169+00:002010-01-19T12:46:43.169+00:00I suspect that they were "thinking" vari...I suspect that they were "thinking" various things, and their confusion might have sunk into further mutterings were it not for the sort of media typified by former Tory National Young Conservative Chairman Nick Robinson who, after denying anything was happening at all on the monday, pursued the half day plot into a second day to the benefit of his political allegiance.<br /><br />Even Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29618513.post-82107831917189890862010-01-11T14:45:17.156+00:002010-01-11T14:45:17.156+00:00What I love is the factionalism in Labour.

Not even the Tory headbangers kicked up a fuss in January 1997, they may have been resigned to defeat but weren't trying to make it worse! <br /><br />The coup has made it even less likely Labour can win.
