I reckon that That Article might have been Julie Burchill's
pitch for the column on the newly Ed Balls-loving Sun on Sunday which
has therefore been vacated by her old enemy Toby Young, who is accordingly now
back down on the farm.
But that strikes me as more of an opportunity for
the Maurice Glasman column that never quite happened, or to give a regular
platform to the increasingly ubiquitous Neil Clark. The revival of paleo-Labour
is something that is almost completely ignored by the media.
Yet it is the dominant tendency or sensibility in
and around the party that is at 43 per cent in the polls. Even Rowenna Davis's Staggers
posts have become very infrequent. For all Burchill's stylistic brilliance,
Davis's views are the ones that now demand a wider hearing.
