Labour Future
TB would kill for a Lobby pass right now. There is tectonic activity tonight.
Ever one to fraternise with the enemy for a good story, TB just got off the phone with his most plugged in of red Parliamentary sources. Just as he speculated earlier, things could well be on the move. The excellent Sir Thomas Legg has well and truly rattled the Parliamentary Labour Party and instead of shooting the messenger there seems to have be a big movement toward blaming the PM. It was Gordon after all that brought Legg in to rightly go after his flock with a blunt axe.
Just because Brown managed to hold his membership together in Brighton doesn't mean the higher rungs of the party are on board. Look at what happened to IDS - held his conference together, just, but was gone within weeks of Parliament returning. Something is going on.
Enter stage left - Charles Clarke.
TB understands the meeting might be slightly better attended than first anticipated.

I'm seeing Charles Clarke next week at a fundraiser!....
The web site is unusually well formated for phones PDAs and blackberries - who could their target audience be ?
Why has someone put their parliamentary email on that site? Are we to assume as well that this website has been registered, built and maintained by a parliamentary staffer, paid from public funds and using publicly funded computers? I demand answers!
Interesting that Charles Clarke's name is written in a different font.
