'Virus infecting' / 'Antibiotic cleansing'

2 sides of the same political coin. It's just another example of the disarray which Labour find themselves in, blaming their most sucessful PM for the state they're in now. Crazy time at Labour HQ.

Long may it continue, best advert for the Tories we've had in a long time!

Nothing new there then!

Yes, but not good for democracy in the long run. Without a credible opposition the Cons will be much more autocratic.

Yes, it caused this strange disease called "winning elections". Medical experts have said it has become completely wiped out.

If traditional Labour emerges from the ashes that remain the party will never be credible. It needs to acknowledge that old Labour is long dead and that times and people have changed.

it's not good enough to just appeal to hard core left leaning party supporters and other like minded individuals, that won't amount to a majority. they need to appeal to the floating voters of the marginal constituencies, and evidence thus far is that those voters have no stomach for leftist policies.

New Labour is dead.

The Unions have come out of the cupboard, and it's electoral death.

Anyone got a big electric defibrillator?
