High table Labour

While looking at 2020, the website set up by Charles Clarke and Alan Milburn to open discussion both within the Labour party and outside on where it is going and should it be going there, I see Professor the Right Honourable Lord Eatwell well up in the endorsing comments on its opening page.

Most discussion in the dead tree press has agreed this is an anti Brown- takeover website so, having a high regard for John's economist's learning and skills, as well as a warm appreciation of his knowing which side the political bread is buttered, I though this boded bad for Brown. John knows more than most about pensions, the big bad bogey of Brown's incompetent micro-managing, and almost everything about the real shape the UK economy is in (fine the globalized sectors run by the Bank of England and the sectors controlled by the EU Growth and Stability Pact parameters) awful the nightmare of control freak high tax/highspend and redistribute to clientalise the Brown/Labour vote bits (which fortunately impinge less on London than the rest of the country).

Just a straw in the wind but I think it indicates it's not over for Tony yet, not any where near.
