Renewal In Power: Meaning RIP for Labour Left Wing?

Luke Akehurst (pictured right in weekend wear) claims here that he is from the "moderate" wing of the Labour party. So let's count those party wings then. There's the left wing. There's the right wing. And now there's this third wing. The "moderate" wing.

One of the strings to Luke's war chest is as a consultant to the arms industry. It may be that the money he has been paid by arms dealers and nuclear peddlars has made his knees rather jerky when it comes
to a sniff of a "peace and justice" agenda from John Cruddas.

Or perhaps his pals at BAe have promised, as their next trick, to bring in a revolutionary three winged plane? It probably won't work, that, barring a helicopter (like this McDonnell machine) with all three wings spinning together.

So, with an idée fixée in mind, entirely dispensing with the left wing may be Luke's favoured engineering solution to this conundrum. Move the old right wing across. And place Luke's 'moderate' or actually far-right/dirigiste wing in its place. Is that the master plan Col Akehurst?



Here is an artist's impression of the futuristic alternative united party/aircraft with just the one wing carrying and linking everyone. This one is also a McDonnell creation. But I feel sure as a true democrat with a policy focus John'd let anyone from the left or centre left who emerged as the favoured candidate for the 150 or more PLP members significantly to the left of Gordon to captain the ship.
