Labour List: Derek's Gone And The Blairistas Come Out To Play

Would have to treat this Cruddas-Purnell, or rather Purnell-Cruddas fantasy with he pinch of salt. You can say what you want about Derek Draper, and I did, but for Blairy briefing to be finding its way onto "the leading centre left blog in Europe" (sick) so soon after the that Borwnie was busted is quite peculiar. Tom Miller, who sadly believes in Jon Cruddas and the disappointing Compass project says "You Must Be Joking". A Guardian report, a Demos coincidence, a Spectator sketch and Blairite gingeristes Progress are the esteemed sources.
