Labour leadership

Straight Left now runs Labour communications. A man who has never, ever, seen any US or UK military action as anything other than unjustified imperialist aggression is the mouthpiece for what only a few years ago was the natural party of government.
 
And strategy, according to Milne's own tweet. Interestingly (not really) he says that he's only on leave from the Guardian. Perhaps he doesn't expect it to be a long-term engagement.

You get a six month sabbatical every few years at the Guardian, for intellectual refreshment. Perhaps he's drinking at the well of Corbyn on full pay. Even for six months, though, it's an abomination.

Good, Seamus Milne is a goodun. Just because he has been working for the Guardian doesn't mean he is a bad man. In the old days the Guardian was regarded as being a bit lefty. I remember reading Milnes book about the miners strike, it was very revealing about the involvement of MI5.

not sure if the corbyn-jugend have anything to say to you tbf Maurice.

One of them phoned me up a couple of hours ago and asked for £15 (a discounted price!A bargain!) to upgrade me to full membership. If I'd known about Milne I'd have been even grumpier at her.

Come on relax and enjoy being on the left. You must have been part way there to sign up for the £3 membership.
 
He was editor of the comment section at one time.

Despite that he deserve some points for his book The Enemy Within about the campaign against the NUM, which is definitely worth reading.

I am glad I am not the only one on this thread who knows who Seamus Milne is. :)
