I hope that's a joke? Or you're a conservative socialist? This guy is absolutely embedded in capitalist ideals... New Labour was a successful marketing campaign, nothing more. And this piece of shit played a huge role in all of that. You're wanting victory at any price again. X

Labour didn't win because of him, they won because the Tories were despised in the mid 90s, Labour were well ahead in the polls and would have won with or without Blair and Campbell.

I’ve met him a few times - absolutely brilliant! Can’t believe any true labour supported would want to unseat him!

the thing with people throwing Iraq war at Alastair is, if you have fundamental problem with him on this, do no engage with him on principle. Do not sit with him and talk about different topics, and when you are losing, throw Iraq at him as a cop out. If he is a war criminal in your eyes, it should be a huge deal. Not a footnote to be used as a debate point.

New labour gave us the change that paved the way for Cameron, May, and the type of politics we are suffering today, it was new labour and the Tory version of it that turned so many people towards right wing bigotry, or away from politics altogether, the politics of no choice, no ideas and neoliberal stagnation.

Interesting to see this 12 months later in the light of political change both in the US and domestically. An increasingly isolated UK government with nowhere to turn being hung by its own petard and massive and sustainable changes within Labour whose return to socialist policies are popular, viable, costed and which resonate with so many crying out for change to end the cycle of punishing austerity and corruption.
