I took August off from blogging simply because most of my time over the last month has been spent on time with my family, catching up on constituency work and preparing for the launch of the Trade Union Co-ordinating Group at the TUC. I last blogged when Miliband was positioning himself just in case there was a leadership bid and just as I return to the blog many of the loyalist of the loyal Blairites are attempting a coup.
I find it ironic that many of them are now arguing that part of the problem is Labour never had an election for leader last year. It is also typical that this this bitter internal infighting between New Labour factions has not raised a single difference in policy or political ideology. Both the Blairite and Brownite faction fighters have voted for virtually every policy implemented over the last 11 years, which have alienated our supporters and are delivering us up to the prospect of a Tory government.
I have largely declined media interviews because I just thought the Left should stand above and not get dragged down by this unseemly, internal, opportunist New Labour infighting. However a number of activists urged that we remind people of our position that for the Left the issue of the Labour leadership is about policies not personalities and that whilst we have wanted a leadership election for the last 2 years we believe it has to be a debate about alternative political analyses of the world we face and the alternative policy programmes that follow from them.
That is why I put out this short press release yesterday evening.
Its Like Watching the Crew having a Punch up on the Deck of the Titanic.
Commenting on Labour Leadership debacle, Labour MP John McDonnell said:
Most Labour Party members are looking on aghast as the Blairites and Brownites fight an irrelevant turf war. Its like watching the crew having a punch up on the deck of the Titanic. Without a single policy difference between them they are willing to destroy a Labour Government. I challenge both of them to publish a policy programme to put before our members for support and lets test the views of our supporters on the way forward for Labour.
Of course we are up for a leadership election at any time but our task is to ensure that we use any leadership talk or actual election as a platform for our policies and to demonstrate to our supporters and the country at large that there are socialists within the Labour Party that are willing to stand up for them as this recession hits our community.

John needs to be in the media now (esp as it's now pre-conference run-up too) to get the message out
message being :It's the policies, stupid!!
see also unionfutures blogspot whihc is v good
as ususal not sure if this is the right forum for what I have to say but it's the only way sometimes! Hope all my ideas aren't getting nicked tho as they don't pay me!!!!
Anyway it's only Prime Minister, someone has to do it! Tony Banks once wrote that anyone can be an MP!
Obama has unwittingly made a mistake now as all candidates do at some point but remember how close the Kennedy-Nixon was..
Obviously Nixon was a 'crook that had got to be President' as JFK once said but interestingly JFK Jnr said he always liked Nixon as a child as he helped him clean up his spilt milk at a White house dinner when he was a child!
Just goes to show everyone has thier good points!
But we still need to make teh right choice for PM and the White House.
The union General Secretaries not supporting John McDonnell's leadership bid is now revealed as the height of tactical ineptitude. Brown was allowed to walk into the leadership without coming under any pressure whatsoever to change the policies, the policies which are a dead cert to deliver a Tory government. The unions must force Brown out.
Andy, Unite rep
Thanks for the compliment anon1.
John as one of the activists encouraging you to accept the media invites I obviously think you've done the right thing.
If the left keep quiet at the moment it would be like watching 2 bald men fighting over a comb.
None of the blairite MPs calling for Brown to go are providing any alternative policies.
We need to be direct about our politics and the future for our party - that involves being vocal about a change of direction.
Of course the unions should step up and put forward their own unions policies.- Derek Simpson was arguing for people to fight inside the party at the TUC then he should start doing so -instead of coming out in support of Brown!
agree with m above about the unions though cdn't make it to TUC this yr to hear it from the horse's mouth unfortunately...
what wd it take to get the unions to pull some of their money out of New Labour and put it into proper Labour????? without destroying the true Labour party of course.
Looks like yesterday's " Black Sunday" is going to have a huge influence on current policy... watch this space! - media are saying everything turned on it's head if such a major company can be allowed to fail?? I only kno whtat on ceof the companies that didn't fail was Goldman Sachs who are arrogant and unethical as far as I'm aware...I think they are goin gto have to re-write all banking regulation but that's all I know about it at present maybe someone can inform us???
Newsnight is saying it wil be more likey that Cabinet members will call for Brown to go than the 70 nominations at present. Does teh left have any friends in the Cabinet these days !!! hee hee
For a good analysis of where banking regulation has failed - and potential remedies - see LEAP's publication on the Credit Crunch: http://www.l-r-c.org.uk/policy/leap/#credit
Can anyone provide a link to the list of 313 Labour MPs who nominated Gordon Brown for the Party Leadership? The list seems to have disappeared from Labour's web-site. I just wish to check out David Cairns and company.
Harry - David Cairns was one of them.
Those now plotting against Brown sycophantically nominated him in droves and thereby blocked a debate about the future direction of the party.
In some senses they're not being entirely hypocritical - like then, they have no interest in a debate about policies: after all, there is not an iota of political difference between them and Brown.
If there is to be a leadership contest we all need to do all we can to get John on the ballot paper and this time have a real debate.
Imo, John is one of the few politicians with any integrity but just as importantly he has new ideas and the drive to carry them out.
However, the 'Convention of the Left' which he has endorsed seems to be a rejigging of the tired old unreconstructed left including the SWP who really shouldn't be engaged with again unless they learn some humility and stop hijacking issues and campaigns.
We need a New Left which draws in people who are not just interested in 'The War' imperialism, racism, etc, (the obsessions of the far left) but are horrified how our pernsioners are treated, the lack of social housing, rising utility and food costs, welfare cuts, poverty, in effect, the basics...
That's right, nobody on "the left" is in the slightest interested in those issues.
In frenetic's head.
Change the bloody record.
frenetic, I think you are being extremely unfair.Have you actually looked at the programme for the Convention Of The Left? There are sessions on housing, trade union rights, climate change, public sector pay, and health issues. And...fporeign policy, globalisation and its effects, women and equality etc etc.More info at
www.conventionoftheleft.org
It is all a pathetic Blairite plot.
All they do is lower the party support and moral for a silly vindictive game.
The stupid plot must not be allowed to succeed.
The blairites will wreck the conference and would rather see the party moral destroyed so they can get their vindictive revenge. Thye are traitors.
this all a sikh plot to romeve bronw. they like blair bacuas he kill muslems.
i hav iq of 012 and psot grad qulifctins.
stop attaking brown just becase he didnt go to pubic skool and uxbrig. stop givign amuniton to cacaine torsie
I am the real dirty euro some mad nutter at 9.25pm is prentending to be me on these websites. The guy is a some dumb creep pretending to be me.
Gordon Brown today:
'Everyone who can work, must work.
With the above, Brown in his party speech has now unequivically said he is going to force millions into unpaid, unsuitable or even dangerous work and despite him saying disabled people will not be part of the programme, James Purnell, the DWP Boss has said he wants over 1 million disabled people back into work. How can this be progressive: this is real right wing US style politics and wouldn't be out of place at a Republican convention.
It seems no one now speaks up for the really poor(or those soon to be). where are the Unions?, the Labour Left? civil society? Where are the jobs going to come from, we are in a massive recession with unemployment rising, its not about fairness its about bashing the poor and being punitive.
The lack of opposition to all this is baffling and shaming, (excluding JM) not least that some of the draconian welfare reforms first victims will be those who are about to be made redundant! no waiting for suitable work, clean those bogs/pack that salad or else!
Oh, and why did the Convention Of the Left have nothing at all on
the Welfare Reforms, says it all really.
John
