A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
Very useful. Not. Just as Labour begins to get a bit of traction/momentum back thanks to some sensible speeches by both Blair and Brown, we are treated to a barrage of self-justification from Charles Clarke. Which helpfully reminds large sections of the electorate why they didn't vote Labour back in May. Clarke says he spoke out to restore his political reputation. In fact he has damaged his reputation with this intervention.

You've got your nose so far up Gordon's behind you'd better hope he doesn't take a corner too quickly- you'll end up breaking your neck.
