Shock Horror: Telegraph/Spectator Writer "May Vote Tory Before 40th Birthday"

ASTONISHING really that New Labour is just now driving latterly socialist Telegraph/Spectator writers to the right, like this. Expecting to vote Tory before they are even 40 years of age.

These cuddly suburban folk are the very people - labelled unsophisticated but self-serving middle classes - that John Reid is here urging the new, future leader of the Labour Party (which might it seems not be himself) to keep on board. Keep on board that is by staying strictly "New Labour" as defined by John Reid - and his slightly weedy disciple Tony Blair.

My own preference of course would be for Labour to regain the support of working people across the board with unselfish ideals of solidarity, equality, fairness, public service, peace, safety and justice.

Coupled with economic competence. It has sometimes felt recently like hand-to-hand fighting; New Labour clearing our natural supporters street by street, acting against workers' interests.
Telegraph/Spectator folk are now allegedly drifting leftwards to DD's brand of liberalism.
