Don't call them tory scum, though, for it while hurt their feelings.

Nothing says "hopeful politics" like the warmed-over corpse of blairism.

Read the room mate.

What is it in these freaks that makes them want this so badly - and indeed in this particular case all the other stuff that goes along with being Tony Blair - but not want to join the Tories?

Is it just shame and tension with their own self-image?

The Britain Project sounds a bit like the Brittas Empire.

Looking at who is involved it is all establishment figures. The new Independent Group for Change?

I don't want to piss on your chips but 'hilarious' isn't my reaction to this. Deso, maybe. Bleak. Looking at the state of French politics, frightening.

Good point well made:

Quote from: vob @voblatReplying to @SolHughesWriter

One of those people is writing blairs speeches, and two of them are members of the Labour paty (phillips and blair'.

Oddly, no rush to expel them for it from the starmer crew, who are currently expelling left wing Jews for giving interviews to media.

Project Britain... for people that think radical centrism isn't an absurd oxymoron.

"Project Britain" sounds like a failed reality tv show from 2002

I wish it was just an oxymoron, perhaps 'fundamental centrism' is more correct.

Fundamentalist neoliberalism.

yes... 'aggro-centre' is another one I've seen used, I like the brevity.

Extreme centrism, was David Graeber's term.

I imagine most of the Britain Project people were big fans of the Coalition Government.

I doubt much will come of it. He's just a bored old rich man wishing he was still relevant.

The most amazing thing about the misogynist article aimed at Rayner is that it is less offensive than Matt Fforde's "my big Labour tits" portrayal of Jess Phillips.

idunnosomename

Good Tory Rory, Philip "Tonty's larynx" Collins and Trevor "I'm black so I'm allowed to be racist against Muslims" Phillips!?!?!? What a dream team!!!

shoulders

No remaining doubt that New Labour's repeated use of radical agenda only applied to internal reform of the Labour Party.

Have they come up with a single idea since losing power that couldn't easily have been thought up by one wing or other of the Tories? A serious, non-rhetorical question.

I don't think it is because one's a (shit misogynistic) parody and the other's a real-life accusation aimed at someone.

Agreed. This is a Mail on Sunday article, not a Sunday Sport one.

I think it will be significant in dragging our politics further to the right.

You heard it from the horses mouth. Not wanting the Labour leader to become prime minister is good actually. A position to bear in mind come the next election.

Why won't the loony left compromise and pragmatically support the leader we have, not the leader they want
