What about James Purnell and Blue Labour?
He made his political name by kicking people out of their wheelchairs and stamping on their heads. He arranged for private companies not only to take over the administration of sickness and disability benefits, but to be paid by how many claims they rejected and how many claimants they forced off the books.
Prior to the last General Election, it was publicly announced that he had been offered and had accepted his previous position of Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, in the event of a Cameron overall majority. Instead, Cameron has had to make do with the infinitely more humane Iain Duncan Smith.
Yet look at Purnell now. What do we see?

Is he writing for that Purple Book? I might get hold of a copy of that otherwise I might not believe it was true. We all know that they think these things about how Osborne's cuts don't go far enough, Cameron is not having enough wars, we should have been in the euro from the start, ID cards and a national DNA database should still be introduced. But I want to see it in print under their names.
