Good news today about Farepak.
But the only party
to have taken up this case has been Arthur Scargill's Socialist Labour
Party, not in fact a vehicle for the Old Labour Left, but overwhelmingly
a refuge for the pro-Soviet wing of the former Communist Party of Great
Britain, and duly associated with the dotty historical theories of the
Stalin Society.
However, Ed Miliband has an opportunity to redeem his party by taking a stand against the closure of 27 Remploy factories, a despicable and vicious continuation of the policies of the Blair Government. This an opportunity bury New Labour once and for all.

Ed Miliband, over to you. A write-up of the Blue Labour conference will finally appear here tomorrow.
Ed was very impressed by what he heard from Maurice and others about the contributions made by you and several more at the Nottingham seminar. He has read your book as you know, Maurice's influence again. You also know that he doesn't agree with all of it. But he agrees with enough. As John says in his endorsement of it, you invented postliberal politics, before Maurice, before Phillip, before everyone. Ed Miliband is in that sense a Lindsayite, a Lindsayite who is well on course to be the next Prime Minister.
