LabourHome 2.0 Re-Launches

That process of renewal for New, New Labour is all about us. The frankly, until now, faltering LabourHome site has re-launched. Last time Guido looked it still had Labour Beta 0.0 policies and articles advocating socialism. How so very 80s...

They do make the point today that they are the only open-access tool for grassroots activists. ConservativeHome and LibDemVoice allow user comments but have editors. Anything goes on LabourHome and anybody can put up articles. The new site allows some editorial intervention in that better articles can be bumped up front and centre by the editors. This might spare online political junkies the necessity of wading through endless articles on "bringing back socialism" for more current issues.

Not sure the best way to relaunch is to put a picture of yesterday's man on the front...

UPDATE : 16:30 GMT site crashed. Didn't something like this happen on the first launch day?

tomorrow's man (Broon) is letting it be known he relishes a contest with Meacher/McDonnell - apparently he wants to crush them.

Bit like me walking upto a rabbit, and letting it have both barrels of a shotgun at point blank range - hardly very sporting.

Gordon Brown: Fit For Office?.
Gordon Brown is about to be Britain's Prime Minister. And yet some very senior figures on his own side are certain he is unfit for office: one has called him a "control freak", another "psychologically flawed" and one serving cabinet minister has said he'd be a "f***ing disaster" as Prime Minister.

sad about the disconnect between the theory and the reality though !
nulab = serially incompetent
criminally corrupt

It's not true anything goes. I had great fun with my pseudo-character "turnleft" for several months before getting kicked off.

javelin said...

Meacher/McDonnell would be best advised to steer clear of the election. All they are going to do by standing is discredit the left of the party by getting such few votes. If they don't stand then the left will remain a force of unknown numbers and more likely to rise up in future.

Re: News 24 in Sedgefield - how come there are so many people who can take the morning off in Trimdon for this non-event? Haven't they got jobs to go to?
Still, it's got to be better than listening to the BBC's sycophantic coverage.

just watched the Blair resignation speech; reminded of Wilde's remark about the death of Little Nell: it would take a heart of stone not to laugh

Guido has had a login since day one. Anyway, it's unlikely Robin, sorry, Alex Hilton, would ban him, is it?
