As expected David and Ed Milliband are the front runners in the race to be the new Labour Party leader. The Guardian says that whilst David is out front currently, Ed is actually the favourite. Reading Alistair Campbell's diaries it all seems to be a re-run of the "battle" between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in 1994.
Lets hope that sense prevails and the bitterness that wrankled for so long previously is not repeated. I must admit I have no real knowledge of either brother, but I do know that they need to start work on defeating the current ConDem coalition.
I see that Peter Mandelson is still trying to hang in as a figure in the Labour Party, although this time he appears to have commented on the doubts surrounding the legality of stopping the £80m loan to Sheffield Forgemasters. It would appear that the ConDem Coalition may have misled parliament about the Treasury Support for the loan being non-existent. Having seen papers in the Treasury, Peter M says the Loan was considered value for money and was signed off. Apparently then the rumours that another Sheffield engineering firm and a Tory donor had influenced the poor decision could have some merit......
Just another sign that Nick really needs to start thinking for the people he represents... hang on isn't that the same as Rory from the String Marketing Board?
