The Trash Takes Itself Out

Like Alastair Campbell, I have no desire to be in a party that does not want me as a member. 

The BBC is aghast that Labour "has yet to respond" to Campbell, as if he were anyone in particular. But in fact, if he serves any useful purpose, then it is as an entertaining reminder of quite how trashy the Blair years were.

Every Prime Minister has a little court, but none before or since, at least so far, has been surrounded by quite as undistinguished a bunch as Blair managed. The ear of our Head of Government was had by Campbell, Peter Mandelson, Michael Levy, Carole Caplin, and all that trash.

So no, Alastair Campbell, for all the Labour Party's many faults, it most certainly does not want you back in its ranks. Nor does it feel any need to "respond" to your assertion that you no longer wish to be member of it, anyway.
