I'd love to see the pictures when Liz Kendall books a 1000-capacity hall for her supporters to come and see her.
I suspect those likely pictures are the reason why none of the others attempting a similar tour. It'd be like those photos from that East 17 gig that were doing the rounds last month...I'd love to see the pictures when Liz Kendall books a 1000-capacity hall for her supporters to come and see her.

Stella Creasy. A decent campaigner and organiser (which is the basis on which Watson is winning) but a bit better politically. hardly brilliant, but better than the other shower of shite.
"Labour is on your side – the Lib Dems are on the side of failed asylum seekers." - that's from an old Tom Watson election leaflet, by the way

This won't go down well with the Bliarites.
"He is reviled by many in the party, and his supporters are in decline as a new generation of Labour MPs has entered Parliament, rejecting Mr Blair and the way he tried to rid their party of its left-wing elements."
"Rather, it has been his contacts with regimes and individuals of questionable morality, and his money-making activities and his homes, all of which have been regularly aired by a profoundly suspicious press, that seem to have caused the damage.
Members of the Labour Party cannot understand why it is necessary for their former leader to make so much money and to be travelling the world in private jets."

Do they care? Genuine question as I don't pay enough attention to know - do the right-wingers in the Labour party who're always described as 'Blairites' actually give a shit about him as an individual?

Enough to disinter him for a round of Wot I Fink About Jezza, not enough to defend him when people call him a war criminal.

In my experience, yes. Many of them genuinely see him as a heroic figure.

So many particulars. So many questions.
not the best of moves- for anyone paying attention to him and wavering hearing him admit that 'even if we could win on a left platform I wouldn't want to' must have made a few minds up. he was confirming what we all know, they'd rather be in opposition than be led from the left. For all the talk of how corbyn is the Wrecker, they've all flat out admitted they'd rather tank the party electorally than have him in.

Oh God yes, tactically the whole thing was a hilarious misreading of public opinion and an unintentional expose of how utterly cack-handed the Blairite leadership is now their old guard have retired. If they're had any nous they should have told Blair to salute Corbyn's indefatigability and ask a few general questions about how the old chap intends to defy the markets without emptying the City, causing massive capital flight and tanking British bonds.

More disturbingly to me are thee 'soft' Blairites who say things like 'okay in retrospect the Iraq War wasn't the best idea but it wasn't a war crime/at least we got rid of Saddam/you left-wing purists need to get over it' etc

No amount of cajolery...
'Labour only did all that bad war crime stuff because of Blair and it wasn't that bad anyway'
If you can't even inspire your own party, how on Earth are you going to inspire the unconvinced?
