He who wields the knife, might just wear the crown.

'Tis a common proof,
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend. (2.1.22)

TB is hearing stirrings that the LabourList kiddies are upping the ante for a post-Draper world. The Labour grass-roots movement, which believe it or not, actually contains some pretty good blogs have
almost all
called for
Draper to go
... Draper isn't the only person to receive Unite subs to fight the tories online, and TB has seen evidence that suggests that the minions have already begun planning what they will do once Draper is finally given the axe.

Quite why he is still clinging on remains to be seen, but there has been some speculation that Draper is holding out in order to negotiate a severance package from LabourList, of which the financial and legal status remains very grey.

Rumours are also flying round Labour circles of a certain prominent figure online who, as no friend of Draper already, is trying to build up support from the grass-roots to take over at LabourList.

Well whatever cheeky monkey wants to come in from the outside is going to have a tough battle with Draper's padawan who are already making plans of what they would do to try keep the fledgling LabourList afloat. This will prove a hard task given just how associated it is to Draper and just how protective of it Draper is being.

Unite will have to increase their funding of the project if Draper goes, because TB doubts very much that the FlowVideo office will be quite so accommodating to LabourList after Dolly has been knifed.

Good stuff! I wonder what Tom Miller, et al, will do once their absurd messiah shuffles back into obscurity?

Looks like Dolly is trying for a Sir Fred Goodwin style severance payoff haha. Must have some stinky gossip on Brown thus keeping his job safe.
I reckon these slurs would have been unleashed had Mr Cameron not lost his son Ivan. It all seems to make some sense that they have been holding on to these smears until a window of opportunity to release them would have arisen.
And they would probably have done next year.

Cheers to Guido and T-bear.....
